Free Biscuit cutters and other biscuit tips.

A friend told me they found very limited selections of biscuit cutters so I got to thinking.</p>

I took a standard hand held can opener and turned it sideways and cut the top off the can instead of cutting out the lid like you normally do. It worked and gave me a clean sharp edge. You can make anything from small to a cathead.
</p>

Those can openers that cut sideways and split the top seam of the can leave a dull edge that crimps the biscuit dough and keeps it from rising as much as a clean cut. </p>

Remember to turn your biscuit upside down when you put it on the baking surface. This helps overcome the crimp effect and lets the biscuit rise a little better
</p>

I've also used a pizza cutter to make custom sized/shaped biscuits.</p>

Get you some different sized wooden dowels and put them beside your dough and roll your rolling pin over them and you can make uniform biscuits every time. I use 3/8 and 1/2 inch most of the time but also have 1/4 and 3/4 inch in my drawer.

Great stuff. I have a very unusual can opener that can only be used one way. I cuts the center of the seam horizontally allowing that the can may be resealed partially It leaves a very small rolled edge on the can that will not cut you yet small and sharp enough to cut biscuit Dough.. Most people do not realize that the design of the old crank handheld can openers are better designed to cut around the can than taking a straight cutting blade and cutting out the circle inside a lid.

My wife is dumb as a rock. She's been turning a drinking glass upside down, cutting out biscuits for pert near 40 years now. emoBang
