Hey gang - :D

Do you think I could put a dough in the EAD?

I currently pipe my St. Anthony cookies out with a pastry bag. The dough is sticky ... do you think the EAD will be durable enough for the dough?

:confused:
 
I use my EAD to make cream puffs. Just spray the inside of the tub with non-stick spray. There is a recipes for them in the cooking for 2 or more books that says you can do that. Hope that helps you!

great! thanks...

I wasnt sure it would be durable enough for dough.

I thought , its gotta be easier than using the darn pastry bag... the orginal recipe calls for rolling the dough with your hands and shaping into pretzels, but it was way tooooo time consuming and I found that piping the dough made it much lighter and I make little "star clouds" instead of the pretzels.
 
Laura how did it work?
