Directions

  1. Mix the oil and vegetable shortening together using a spoon, whisk, or electric mixer. ≈ 4 min
  2. Add the flour and mix until it is almost smooth, but do not try to eliminate every lump. ≈ 4 min
  3. When a recipe calls for “buttering and flouring” the tin, it’s better to apply a thin layer of this mixture to the bottom and sides using a brush. ≈ 3 min
  4. If the mold has any raised areas, make sure the mixture penetrates into the recesses thoroughly. ≈ 3 min
  5. Then, pour the dough into the pan and bake as usual.
