Christmas treats: a couple of little helpers

Treats and tools

When I am, as every year, to prepare the cookies and sweets that I will use for the festive gifts (but also for sbafarmeli I confess!) I begin now to make sure you have all that I need at hand.
First of all, decided which cookies I will prepare, I prepare a large sheet of Excel with all the ingredients to buy.

But it is not just about ingredients; for example, you need to prepare a good supply of parchment paper: between what is needed to help you roll out the doughs and what goes in the oven (and more than two or three times you can not reuse) it goes away in quantity .
I also have to remember that the flour is not just for the dough but also to the work plan; as well as the icing sugar is also used for various decorations.

In short: it ends I come home from shopping with the bike basket overflowing and saddlebags parted.

There are also several tools without which all these procedures would be much more difficult: a good food processor solves many problems!
And minimal but very useful tools; like the wands to guarantee the right thickness at the work of the rolling pin. The most typical are in the 10, 5 and 3 sizes.
It is contiluous to stretch until the rolling pin touches nothing but the thicknesses.

Of course you can not forget the cookie cutters. There are all types and sizes; the classic ones are in metal but there are now also many in different plastic materials.

Christmas shapes are basic and ...

... Even some special form or a stencil Multifunction to derive at once biscuits of all shapes and sizes!

And do not forget that many of these doughs are not at all friends, at least until the time to go in the oven, the heat!
So either you work in a room with the windows wide open or, fully covered, thanks a sunny day, you work on the terrace or on the patio.

ADVICE:

  • For the rest only need a lot of passion and a lot of love for what you do!
  • And patience is not that everything is always perfect; as you would like!
