Good eggs for meringues and macarons

Just that really - can you recommend a brand of eggs to me - I've been using free range Burford Brown eggs but they always seem to have tiny blood spots in them which interferes with whisking the egg whites even when I try to remove every scrap :(

Grin I've always bought posh eggs for baking - must be where I'm going wrong! Thanks for the tip Smile

I use Two Chicks egg whites now for meringue - I use the Meringue Girls recipe, it works and is delish Smile

I've used 2 chicks for meringue and they turn out fine and I've tried them for macarons but not good results for those, and they are things I make regularly.

I tend to buy my eggs straight from the farmers they are fresh, free range and cheaper than the supermarket eggs, win win really.

Then I leave the egg whites out overnight, covered, to age as it helps improve structure in meringues

I just use any old eggs. I've never noticed it makes any difference.
