Abstract: A biscuit cutter having at least one cutting element defined by a hexagonally oriented cutting edge which taper upwardly and inwardly to form a circular biscuit forming cavity and which cutting element may be cooperatively seated within a mold so as to uniformly cut substantially all of the dough placed within the mold into uniform circular shapes without leaving any waste dough to be reworked or reprocessed.

Abstract: A method for making biscuits of uniform size and quality wherein a predetermined amount of a dry biscuit mix is worked with a specified amount of water, and, thereafter, kneaded to form a dough which is introduced into and uniformly distributed within the cavity of a biscuit mold after which a cutter having a plurality of generally straight wall portions is introduced into the mold cavity thereby cooperatively fitting within the mold to cut the dough into a plurality of similarly shaped biscuits of uniform size and quality. The sidewalls defining the mold cavity are angularly oriented or zigzagged so as to cooperate with the cutter to form the dough into shapes having at least six sides.

Abstract: A cutter comprising a plurality of contiguous hexagonal shapes with a closely-fitting mold surrounding the cutter.
