Recipe Information

Recipe Created By: Kathy Przywara

Ingredients

1 cup shortening
1 cup flour
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions

Mix together thoroughly. I dump everything in my stand mixer and let it go for a minute or two. Store in an airtight container. Do not refrigerate.

To use for preparing pan, apply with a paper towel or pastry brush to surface of pan. A paper towel works fine for regular pans, but a pastry brush works much better on shaped and intricate pans. Be sure to get in all of the nooks and crannies.

Notes

This is a quick and easy to prepare pans for baking cakes. The grease and flour are together in one step.

Substitutions

I have not tried this with any non-wheat flours, but it should work. Be sure to pick a flour that has a long shelf life. Do not use a flour that will go rancid easily.

Use any solid shortening that is safe for you. If avoiding soy, use palm shortening.

Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in specific grains (wheat, spelt, kamut, barley, rye). Other grains are naturally gluten-free but may have cross-contact with gluten-containing grains. Look for certified gluten-free products if you need to avoid gluten. Find out more about wheat and gluten substitutions.
Milk and Soy Substitutions: Alternative dairy-free milk beverages and products will work in most recipes. Find out more about milk substitutions and soy substitutions.
