Vol-au-vent Cutter Set - Rectangular 10cm and 4.5cm
Product number: 72679
Everyone loves biting into a feather-light vol-au-vent but it can be a bit of a fiddle cutting out the cases and getting the scoring right for that just-lift-off lid even if you don’t go to the extra trouble of making your own puff pastry. And that’s why we’ve worked so hard to make these handy Rectangular Vol-au-vent Cutters as easy to use as possible.
All you have to do to cut out 4 large rectangular vol-au-vents or 8 mini square ones with these ingenious cutters is roll out your dough, place a pair of matching-size cutting sheets on top with the cutting side down and roll your rolling pin gently over the top (making sure the crimped outside edge of each cutter cuts right through to your countertop).
One sheet cuts full depth on the outside and only scores the inner rectangles (or squares) to make the bases of your vol-au-vents and the other cuts full depth on the inside as well as on the outside to make four rectangular (or square) borders to make the sides of your vol-au-vents and four little separate lids. Simply brush your bases with a little egg yolk and place the rings on top... et voilà!
Now all you have to do is decide what to fill them with – rosemary pulled pork, smoked haddock and prawn or lemon curd mousse?
4 sheets making 4 large (7 x 10cm L.) and 8 small (4.5cm Square) vol-au-vents.
