“A shortcut in preparing cake pans, bread and roll pans, etc.  Try it, you’ll like it!”

1 cup shortening (vegetable shortening stays fresh longer)
1/2 cup flour
1 T oil

Whip in mixer until fluffy and airy.  Put in container with lid on.  Can leave at room temperature or put in refrigerator.  Cakes come out of pans clean if used liberal amounts.  You’ll never go back to the old way of greasing pans then trying to get flour evenly distributed on sides and bottom.  Just brush on pan with paper towel, waxed paper, or fingers.
