    This is off the back of the box of Club House Rice Flour.

    1 c. butter at room temperature
    1/2 c powered fruit sugar (I used Berry Sugar - I think that is a Canadian name for it)
    1 tsp Vanilla (optional)
    1/2 rice flour
    1 1/2 to 1 3/4 c flour

    Cream the butter, gradually add sugar and vanilla (optional) until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flours until the mixture is very stiff. Turn onto a floured board and knead flour in lightly until dough begins to crack. Make a ball and refrigerate 30 min. For a big square of shortbread, roll out into a 9" circle about 1/2" thick. Prick all over with a fork. Bake at 300 F for 40-50 mins. For cookies, roll out 1/4" thick, cut out with cookie cutter, bake 300 F for 15 to 18 min.

    For the cookie press, I used the time for the big square of shortbread. Campinspecter likes it with vanilla in it but I think I like it better without. I think it should age a week or two before serving but there will be a few cookies short in the tin by the end of the day.

    I made no such offer. I just called out the Soup Nazi, or in this case, Tundra Nazi, because I came to the realization that he was not going to let me butter him up to selling me the Jetstream. So his karma came back on him because I knew at that point that you would not buy him a Tundra for Christmas if he was not being a "really" friendly firewood hoarders club member to me. :p So there Alan. Oh wait. That log dog is still out there. :emb: Ummm. Alan. If you move the Tundra up on your Christmas list you never know. Stranger things have happened ya know. I know how great a gal Woodwidow is. :thumbs: LOVE.

    Mixed fruit pie. Apricots, raisins, cherries, apples, oranges with rind, dates, and hickory syrup.

    Nope, going in the oven. I've got a guest over tonight so I don't have time to play with it.

    I am really curious about how the croissant dough will turn out, it's my proposed solution for a tender, flaky crust.

    You bet it did. I will never make a pie crust again, the croissant dough is so much better.
