And don't substitute it for all the flour, I've tried it with a maximum of 20%, but I think a 40% substitution should be fine as well.

Macarons are so finicky, even though I've made them often, I still watch the first tray through the oven door and cheer when the feet rise.<br /><br />Great idea to use up the leftover macaron shells in cake from, and the photos do look very bright.
