Ateco round cutters, $30 for a set of 12; surlatable.com
An organized set of ring cutters has a calming effect on me, even if the thought of holiday cooking and baking inspires the exact opposite. A variety of sizes means they work for a range of projects (all the better for delegating tasks to guests). In addition to cutting doughnuts, use them for biscuits on Thanksgiving Day. They’re also handy at brunch for removing tidy circles from bread for toad-in-the-hole. And we guarantee you’ll find more uses for them when Christmas rolls around. Did somebody say cookies?
Put your cutters to good use with our salt-and-pepper biscuit recipe.
