A pastry blender helps rub fat into flour without warming the mixture too much with your hands. That makes it useful for pastry, crumble toppings, scones and other bakes where texture matters.
This collection includes pastry blenders designed to cut butter or fat into flour more quickly and with less mess. It is a simple hand tool, but it gives you more control at the mixing stage.
If you enjoy making pastry from scratch, a pastry blender is well worth having in the drawer. It helps take some of the effort out of baking and keeps the job comfortable.
