As a baker I really have learned to appreciate quality products that help make my job easier and more enjoyable. Baking Time has a wonderful Fondant Rolling Pin that does make life in the kitchen baking easier!
The Fondant Rolling Pin:
~ non-stick
~ 9" long
~ has two thickness ring guides, one for 1/8" and on for 1/16" thick
~ has a good weight to help roll materials for you with little pressure
This little rolling pin is perfect, of course, for rolling out fondant and getting a smooth even surface, but it is good for a lot of other things too.
One of my favorite things to make is homemade crackers. it can be difficult with a traditional rolling pin to get a consistent thickness for the crackers to keep them uniform an to bake evenly. This small rolling pin from Baking Time helps keep the cracker dough at a perfect even level and helps work out any possible bubbles that can happen in the dough.
Sage and Cheddar Crackers
Ingredients
1-3/4 c flour
salt and pepper
3 tbsp minced fresh sage
6 tbsp very cold unsalted butter,cut in small pieces
1-1/2 c finely grated extra sharp cheddar cheese (about 5 oz)
1/3 c milk
Directions
In bowl of food processor,pulse flour,1-1/4 tsp. salt,1/2 tsp pepper and sage to combine. Scatter butter pieces over flour mixture in processor and pulse to cut the butter into the flour until it takes on the texture of fine sand,about 12 3 sec. pulses.
Add the cheese and pulse to combine. With motor running,add milk through feed tube and process just the dough comes together(about 30 sec.-do not over-process. Transfer dough to work surface,divide in half and roll each half into a log measuring roughly 6" long and 2" wide. Or roll into a flat rectangle 1/8” thick and carefully fold or roll it up.
Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate till very firm, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
Set oven rack in middle position and heat the oven to 350'. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or non-stick mat and set aside. Working with 1 dough log or rolled flat piece at a time,rest at room temp. for about 3 mins.
Working quickly,slice dough into 1/4" thick rounds or cut into squares approximately 2”x2”, and cut the squares into two triangles. Arrange them about 1/2" apart on baking sheet and bake till golden brown and center is firm, about 10-14 mins,rotating baking sheet halfway through baking. Transfer the crackers to a wire rack to cool completely.
PS ~ If you don't like sage, you can leave that out and just make cheddar crackers!
