Cold hands help though. And a surface to roll on that doesn't move when you try to roll something on it.
Do people tend to roll on just their benchtops or do they tend to use something on top of the bench. Has anyone got one of the tupperware bases? How does it work for them?
Get a dishcloth (not too thick) and make it a little damp and stick it under your surface. That will stop it moving.
I have one of the tupperware mats. I don't often use it, at least in part because I don't have any where large enough to put it out. When I have used it, it's quite good, it makes it easy to see how much more rolling you need to do, and you can also lift it up, turn it over and then peel the pastry off it onto your cooking item:-)
