Things You'll Need:
- 1/4 cup butter or shortening
- 1/2 cup flour
- Pastry brush or paper towel
-
Step 1
Melt the butter or shortening in the microwave until it is a liquid. Do not overmicrowave it, though. Microwave it in 10- to 15-second increments until it melts.
-
Step 2
Dip the pastry brush or paper towel into the melted butter or shortening. Make sure the pastry brush or paper towel has a generous amount of the grease on it.
-
Step 3
Rub the pastry brush or paper towel over the inside of the cake pan. Cover every inch of the pan, from the base up to the top of the sides of the pan, with butter or shortening. Be sure to coat it evenly.
-
Step 4
Sprinkle flour into the greased cake pan. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of flour at a time.
-
Step 5
Hold the cake pan upright and shift it back and forth in order to spread the flour around the cake pan. Once the bottom of the pan is coated in flour, turn the pan on its side to coat the edges. Turn the pan in a circle while it is on its side to completely coat the entire pan. Add more flour as needed.
