"Pastry blender" and "cut in butter"

whats the german word for a pastry blender, and how would one translate 'cut in butter'
thnx

I don't know what the translation to British English is first Is it a cake mixer?
And 'cut in butter' as in - cut the butter into the flour?

Do not understand this part. Do you mean a tab of butter?

"pastry blender" = "die Teigknetmaschine" or "die Bäckermaschine"
"cut in butter" needs translating to English first.

This is a pastry blender, and you use it to cut butter into flour to make a pie crust. I don't know the German word for it, but I'd like to.

Anyone?

Edit: thanks YL6, but are you sure? It's not really a machine...

In that case, "cut-in" is probably "einschneiden" or possibly "zusammenfügen"

my bf seems to think these things just don't exist in german...guess i'll hafta figure out another way to explain it, any ideas?

o yea and cutting in butter is just a way of adding butter to flour or sumfin... usually using a pastry blender

use a food processor instead. Much easier. Freeze the butter first.

pastry cutter thread kindof related to this topic

Then as now, nobody had ever seen such things in Germany. They tend to do Mürbteig anyway and not the kind of dough that you need these for.
