Ankarsrum's Roller System for Perfect Shortbread Texture

The Ankarsrum's unique roller and scraper system excels at creating tender shortbread without overworking the dough. 

Unlike traditional planetary mixers that can overmix delicate doughs, the Ankarsrum's roller gently incorporates butter into flour using a rolling and folding action that mimics hand techniques. 

Start with cold, cubed butter and flour mixture in the stainless steel bowl. The roller will gradually work the butter into the flour without generating excessive heat or developing gluten. Add liquid ingredients slowly while the machine runs on low speed - the scraper automatically moves ingredients toward the roller for even incorporation. Stop mixing as soon as the dough just comes together; the Ankarsrum's gentle action means you can achieve proper texture without the risk of overworking that plagues conventional mixers when making pastry.
