My late mum had this gadget - it had different things you put at the end, filled the tube with a bis mix, turned the handle and out the other end came a long string of fancy dough. I have found the things, but not the tube thing. Does anyone at all know what I am talking about. It isnt the one, you press down. The recipe she used had a packet of jelly in it. I made the recipe today, but just rolled into balls, and pressed with fork.

It is classed as a cookie/biscuit press. There are various ones availabel that come with a number of plates. SSome come with piping nozzles as well. Some of the brands are Marcato which is the Italian brand who also make pasta machines, Kuhn Rikon which is Swiss and they do a press and also one with nozzles. Avanti is another.

1 packet of jelly, (any flavour), 50g butter, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1.1/2 cups flour, 1 teas BP. cream butter, sugar and jelly crystals, add egg, beat well, then flour and BP. roll into small balls,(i use a teaspn) press with fork, bake on greased tray 10-15mins at 180. I got 2 trays and I turn them 1/2way...7mins each. Do Watch them as they burn. I have just put a dab of icing on top, as they are for little ones. Mum used to use the gadget and they came out like a long liquorice strap, she cut them into 2inch bits, and then iced 2 togoether. The gadget makes them quite thin, and thats how they burn easy.
If anyone makes them please come back here and let me know how you like them....
