Are you tired of struggling with lining cake pans with parchment paper? If so, you’re not alone. Many bakers find this step to be tedious and frustrating. But fear not, there is a better way! Let me introduce you to a clever baking hack that will revolutionize the way you prepare your pans for baking.
Instead of fumbling with parchment paper and trying to cut it to fit your round cake pan, try this simple method that will save you time and frustration. Start with a piece of parchment paper that is slightly larger than your cake pan. Fold it in half from left to right, then fold it in half again from top to bottom. Next, fold the paper into a triangle, and then fold it into an even smaller triangle. Align the tip of the triangle with the center of your pan and press the wide end against the edge to make a crease. Use scissors to cut along the crease through all 4 layers of paper. Open it up and be amazed at how perfectly it fits your pan.
But why stop there? Take it a step further by greasing your pans with butter wrappers. Save your butter wrappers in a zip-top bag in the freezer and use them to grease your pans. The butter-slicked paper will mold to the edges and corners of your pans, ensuring a perfectly greased surface without the need for any additional products.
These simple tricks will make the process of preparing your cake pans a breeze, allowing you to focus on the joy of baking without the hassle of lining pans with parchment paper. Give them a try and see how they can transform your baking experience.
