Cake Grease Release Recipe

	Toleliz / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago Ths is not a recipe for a food item but rather a short cut helper in the kitchen for baking. This is a one step grease and flour-less messy than trying to control the flour from flying all over the place (or does that only happen to me?) Prep:10m Servings:0	Toleliz
	helper nonfood

Does this look good? Yeah! / Nope

Ingredients

1 cup flour

1 cup shortening

3/4 cup oil

Directions

Mix everything together. This will keep very well and doesn't need to be in the fridge. Apply to cake pans before you bake (I use it on non-stick pans as well) Everything will come out beautifully. Apply with a pastry brush or even your fingers. Don't lick-it doesn't taste very good-just ask my son.

I have used this for a couple of years. I made mine chocolate (for brownies, choc cake etc). I used 1/2 cocoa and 1/2 flour. 10 times better than spray. I have used it on Character cake pans and not a bit stuck in the corners.

Maida Heatter, my absolute favorite baking book author, has a 100% reliable one, too. She greases with butter and for white cakes generally dusts the pan with unseasoned dried breadcrumbs. For chocolate she generally greases with butter and then dusts with a mix of flour/cocoa powder so the color is "right" and releases reliably.

For all the bakers whose cakes don't release reliably I am sure your post is heaven sent!

Wonderful idea. I'm printing this for myself and others. Just emailed it to my mom in San Diego.
For those of us who bake a lot, this makes the
job easier, and cuts down on the mess.
Thanks for sharing with us!
High 5 again!
(ps... I really love all of your recipes. I'm especially fond of the desserts as that's what I'm most passionate about!)

I just do my pans w/ granulated sugar instead of flour. the cake gets a nice brown outer edge and it tastes yummy.
the sugar rolls around nicely without making all that mess and does not clump up.
