Pudsey Cookie Cutter

I have just come in from work to find my better half on her 3rd batch of cookies, I thought it was St Valentines massacre or a Pudsey Massacre due to parts of Pudsey everywhere. On watching proceedings as the 3rd batch was being put into the cutter ( never to come out again in 1 piece ) I deduced cutter no good, my wife works at the beeb and has a lot of baking toffee etc on sale at this time of year and these cookies are for Sunday for an event, so sorry Lakeland I now hear whimpers in the kitchen so must go as a foot has broke off another Pudsey ( look like war veterans )

This worked very well to make 62 biscuits to sell for Children in Need. They came out of the cutter easily and cleanly, and I only had 1 casualty out of the 62 - his head fell off! (It may have been my fault.) However, the biscuit mixture has to be very thick in order to imprint all the features, which obviously affects cooking time, biscuits per mix, and makes it harder to ensure they are cooked crisp all the way through, without burning the extremities. I also have one of the old plastic ones, with splayed legs, and whilst it was harder to get the dough out of, it was significantly shallower

Bought this after reading disappointing reviews of metal cutter. Found it very straightforward to use, thicker dough up to and even over 5mm gives the best impression and it is easy to fill in any gaps with a small knife for a clean line. Cookies sold well at bake sales too!

Eye bandage detail fails to impress. The Packaging instructions recommends rolling out to a 3mm thickness but even at 6mm the bandage details don't press into the surface. It was only at 10mm did any impression show and even then it was poor. I recommend the other metal cutter lakeland sell; http://www.lakeland.co.uk/12425/Pudsey-Cutter which worked beautifully at 6mm.

I bought the stainless steel Pudsey Cutter after hopelessly disappointing results with my previous yellow plastic one with "handles". What an improvement! Marvellous, clear features on yummy looking "bickies" - very pleased :) Thank you Lakeland :)
