Butter is one of the most common greasing go-to’s because it’s usually already on hand in the kitchen. However, it usually is not the most effective method, especially when it comes to baking cakes or cupcakes. But don’t get me wrong, while the contents of butter may not be the best for a non-stick option, it usually provides a nice golden-brown crust on baked treats.
How to Grease a Baking Pan with Butter:
- First, cover your hands with either some disposable gloves or a Ziploc bag.
- Then, use your covered hands to spread some room temperature butter generously along the entire inside of the baking pan. Make sure to coat all the corners and sides.
- You should achieve an even coating with no chunks of fat leftover.
- If desired, use a small sifter to evenly distribute a small amount of flour across the inside of the coated pan. Then turn the pan over and tap out any excess flour.
- Finally, pour your prepared batter into the greased pan and bake away!
