Re: tootsie roll recipe not working

[Guest guest]

I tried the recipe twice and both times the batter was too watery to even

think about rolling it out. I used a cusinart. Should I mix by hand. Also

it calls for gfcf milk power. Do I just put the powder in or make the milk

powder into milk and then put it in. Actually I tried the recipe both ways

and it turned out the same. Obviously I don't do alot of cooking or baking

from scratch but my son loved tootsie rolls before the diet. Anyone else

running into this same problem.

Thanks

That's so funny you wrote that. I had the same problem in my first

attempt yesterday at tootsie balls(they were easier for Jane to

" help " me with). They were so soft that they spread. I froze them,

but that didn't help. They taste great, but look funny. I thought it

was bc I didn't soften the margarine. And then when I saw it was only

resembling crumbs and no way could I " knead like bread " I put it in

the microwave to soften the butter. I feel like I need the Cliff's

Notes for gfcf recipes sometimes.
