Hot cross buns, treacle tart, chestnut macaroons

This is another replay of the tart and buns that I've made before - but they were good, and its good to practise, to try and get consistent. Oh - and I put in three times the amount of fruit in the buns - and they were much better. Also, the crosses were leftover pastry from the tart, so not too conventional there.

The chestnut macaroons were from a lovely lovely blog: www.foodbeam.com - I searched for daquoise  and ended up on the site. Its exquisite, and certainly gives me something to aim for!!
The recipe is posted here: macaron a la chataigne (scroll down or search the page, its buried in there).
Unfortunately, I was too wussy about the whisking, and didn't go far enough, so I ended up with a cakey biscuit. Very whoopie pie ;) But not what I wanted. Resolved to try again another day - the idea of chestnuts in macarons is very very appealing.
