Mrs. Anderson's Rolling Pin

This pin is ideal for firm, non-rising doughs like shortbread, sugar cookies, and fondant. Avoid using it on doughs with leavening agents like baking powder or soda, as the rising process will obscure the detailed paisley pattern.

The best approach is to chill your dough thoroughly before rolling and lightly dust both the dough and the rolling pin with flour. If you are working with fondant, a light dusting of cornstarch or powdered sugar works effectively to ensure a clean release.

No, this rolling pin is not dishwasher safe. Because it is crafted from European beechwood, you should hand wash it with warm, soapy water and dry it immediately to prevent the wood from warping or cracking.

The ball bearing mechanism allows the barrel to rotate independently of the handles. This ensures smooth, consistent pressure across your dough without you having to adjust your grip, which helps create a uniform impression every time.

While you can technically use it for standard rolling, the laser-etched pattern will leave an impression on whatever you roll. It is best reserved specifically for decorative work where you want the paisley design to appear.
