Mini cookie cutter bird

With the mini bird-shaped cookie cutter, you can bring a delicate spring feeling to your pastries. The 2 cm small bird made of stainless steel is ideal for delicate decorations on biscuits, cakes and aperitif cookies. The shape is particularly suitable for Spitzbuben biscuits, where the small bird appears as a cut-out in the top cookie. The motif also looks playful and lovely as a topper on cupcakes, muffins or spring cakes. Fondant, marzipan and flower paste can be cut out just as cleanly as classic butter biscuit or Mailänderli dough. The mini cutter is a charming detail for spring brunches, Easter buffets and children's parties. Small birds are created from slices of cheese, carrots or cucumber to playfully enhance aperitif platters, salad plates and snack boxes. Work with baker's starch instead of flour when dusting the work surface and mould. The fine starch glides better, absorbs less moisture from the dough and leaves no visible marks when baking. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 0.5 cm and quickly cut out the birds. Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven until golden brown, temperature and baking time according to the recipe. Small stumbling blocks can be easily avoided. If the dough is too warm and sticks to the tin, a short cooling break will help. If the dough is rolled out too thinly, fine areas such as the beak will break. Always use cold butter for kneading dough because it gives the dough stability. Once the birds have cooled, decorate them with royal icing in delicate pastel shades, icing or tempered chocolate. A small sugar pearl accent as an eye makes the bird particularly lively. The stainless steel mini cutter is dishwasher-safe and can be used for a long time. A little helper that brings a touch of spring to every baked good.
