Dough blender

Okay kiddo, you know how sometimes when we bake we need to mix butter or shortening into flour to make dough? Well, a dough blender is a tool we use to make that process super easy!

It kind of looks like a bunch of wires or blades attached to a handle. We use it to cut the butter or shortening into small pieces and mix it into the flour quickly and easily. It's like a magic tool because it helps make sure everything is evenly mixed and we don't have big chunks of butter or shortening left in our dough.

Using a dough blender is a lot like using a whisk or a fork, but it's better for this specific job because it makes sure everything gets mixed in just the right way. It's a really handy tool for bakers and makes making dough a lot less frustrating.
