Rolling Pins Ready to Roll at Pie Cottage
Recipe for a Rolling Pin
Today I’d like to share with you a quick tip on how I care for my rolling pins.
As you know, I am privileged to teach workshops at Pie Cottage and around the country. I supply rolling pins for attendees to try while in class.
Yes, I even travel with my favorite double ended French tapered pins. They are the first things to go into my satchel when packing for a travel workshop.
After completing an unbaked pie in the workshop session, I show just how easy it is to wipe the pin down immediately and thoroughly with a clean paper towel. But after workshops, I find that not everyone has done this quite as throughly as I would like and after everyone has left, I might find some dried dough bits on the cylinder. They must come off before the next workshop as a clean pin makes for a much more enjoyable roll out experience.
Yes, you could use a fingernail to scrape them off, but honestly I don’t find that too appealing and I would imagine that you don’t either.
So here are three very easy steps to get those rid of those bits. A recipe if you will!
