Not real familiar with MMF yet (yeah, I must be the only one!), so does anything really aweful happen if you use MMF immediately after making it, and not let it sit overnight?

I ran out of MMF and had to make a quick batch. I tried to let it rest a couple of hours. It was a little soft and sticky but it worked.

I have only recently found out that I was supposed to let it "rest". I do find that it works better if you let it rest, but it is still workable without. Good luck!

I have tried it both when rested, and right after I made it. I find it easier to roll out when I don't let it rest, I can roll it thinner, and it tears less. I prefer it fresh, but that is me and I don't always play by the book, lol.

I've used MMF for years and at the beginning of each wedding season need to retrain myself. Last week I had a heck of a time with bubbles and pits. So this week I actually put about 3 heaping tablespoons of solid white fat in it, added more powdered sugar than I usually and let it rest for 6 hours. BEAUTIFUL results. Yes, you can use it right away, and it is a lot easier to work with when it's warm. But if you let it rest and add more high ratio shortening to it, you'll have a lot better results.

Curious as what recipes your using that works well not letting it rest. The recipe I use does not have shortening in it.

could this be from not letting my MMF rest? I have used it for a little while, but this time I was rushed. this bubble would NOT go away and when I did get it to go away, it would come back.[img][/img]
