Nutcracker cutter

Nutcracker cutter

The nutcracker cutter made of robust stainless steel brings festive Christmas magic to your biscuit plate. The classic motif from the famous ballet and fairy tale is the ideal companion for Advent, Christmas and festive children's tables. The shape is suitable for classic butter cookies, Milanese cookies, gingerbread cookies and pointed biscuits as well as for fondant, marzipan and flower paste. The nutcracker looks particularly beautiful as a motif for Christmas cookies, as a topper on cupcakes, cake pops and muffins or as the main motif for Advent cakes. The cutter is also an enrichment for festive aperitifs and Christmas buffets. Cheese slices, sausage leaves or puff pastry flakes can be turned into original nutcracker bites that add a festive touch to aperitifs and sandwich platters. Use baking 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, cut out the nutcrackers and carefully lift the motifs onto the baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven until golden brown, temperature and baking time according to the recipe. A few points will help to ensure success. If the dough sticks when you cut it out, it is usually too warm; a quarter of an hour in the fridge will help. Do not roll out the dough too thinly, otherwise narrow contours will break when you turn it over. Cold butter is a must for kneading dough, it holds the structure together. After cooling, decorate the nutcrackers with royal icing in classic Christmas colors such as red, gold, white and blue. The uniform, hat and sceptre can be lovingly decorated with fine cornet. Small sugar pearls as buttons and edible glitter round off the festive motif. The stainless steel cutter is dishwasher-safe and will accompany you for many Christmas seasons. A festive helper for magical Advent joy.
