If this is your first macaron attempt ever, you get hollow, footless macarons.
His temperature is too high & he doesn't whip one of the egg whites.
To be fair, I screwed up by not double-stacking the cookie sheet.

Here's what happens when you go back to basics: 2nd & Last attempt
Lower baking temperature, 3 egg whites whipped, and note: that is the SAME batter.
Bright pink was baked on half-sheet bakery-grade double-stacked cookie sheets.
Pale orange was baked on thin, rinky-dink grocery store, double-stacked cookie sheets.
BUT IT'S THE SAME BATTER!
Fillings are Vanilla Buttercream (too sweet), Chocolate Ganache (too chocolate-y) and Raspberry White Chocolate (just right).

Payard got back in my good graces with this yummy fruit filling:
I used raspberries and made my own puree by weighing what I had and adding 10% sugar to that, the Vitamixing it.
Still had to process it through a china cap to get rid of the tiny seeds.
