Haven't made MMF in a long time, and I don't remember about this.
Even though it works really well, it still has a touch of stickiness to it if I leave my hand rest on it. I don't want to add more ps because it seems like a good consistency, but I'm hesitent to add more crisco (I already added 1/4 cup in the mixing process.)
I haven't yet let it rest overnight, so will this issue go away tomorrow?
This is one of the reasons I like the pre-made, it doesn't seem to have this issue. But, I don't have the time to get Satin Ice, and it's really expensive anyway.
Thanks, Sarah
I would let it sit and cure for a bit so that the ps has time to absorb the water n all. If it's still sticky when you take it out of the bag then just dust your surface that you are kneading it on with more ps. That should help. Personally, I like mine a little sticky, less tendency to crack and dry out.
I just made a batch this morning and wondered about the same thing. I just wrapped it in saran wrap and let it sit for about an hour or so and when I went to roll it out it was fine. didn't have any problems. I also put a little crisco on the rolling mat though
WOW. You wrote that you put in a 1/4 cup of crisco already? WOW, I think I make it wrong. I only use marshmellows, PS and a little water/milk and flavoring. I coat the bowl with crisco (and the dough hook)...but I have never used extra crisco. I then let it sit overnight before trying to use. It has seemed fine (I do crisco my rolling pin, mat and hands if necessary)
What's your recipe?
I tried the "alternative" MMF recipe here on CC. It says to add 1/3 of a cup of crisco during the mixing process and this basically eliminates the need to use to later. I only added about 1/4 cup, and truthfully, I hardly needed to use any crisco later.
The recipe also got 4 stars whereas the regular recipe only got 3.

Hi I used the alternate recipe last week and it came out great. I made a batch of white choc candy clay and mixed the two together. GREAT results! Tasted wonderful and the consistency was perfect.
Can someone send me the link or email me the alternative MMF recipe, I would like to try it?
Thanks! 
Nevermind my last post, I found the alternate mmf recipe. for anyone else that wants it, click here:

Thanks, since I got the original, I never have even looked for an alternate, I didn't know that one existed. Thanks for the info! I'll try it that way. And with the choco clay! Yum!
Tracy-
we use our KA to do MMF kneading all the time, works great and the motor isn't strained at all
Great to know! Everytime I make MMF I curse it while I'm working with it (and looking longingly at my KA and doughhook laughing at me)!! I finally forget how much I hate to make it, and then I do it again!
Next time I'm definitely trying out my appliance, that's what it's there for, right?
I always us the KA -- I have the Artisan, too -- the smaller one. You just have to remember to keep it on speed 2 from beginning to end. If you go off of that, you will burn out the motor -- been there done that! Called the company and got the speed info I needed. It only takes me 5 minutes to make a batch -- love it!
I used the alternative recipe but added an extra TBS of H20 -- it came out really stretchy but still a little too sticky for my taste. Will try it again with only 2 TBS + 1 tsp of water. I always seem to need more water anyway, so I'm just trying to eliminate a step.
