Old School Method for Greasing Cake Pans - September 2018

This is something my Mum taught me to do. Save the wrappers from your butter to grease your cake pans. If the butter is at room temperature before you unwrap it there will be a coating of butter left on the wrapper. I fold them up and put them in a plastic container in the fridge ready to go when I need them. You just need to wipe the inside of the wrapper with the butter on it over the tin and you're ready to go. I freeze my butter so there isn't always a lot of residue on the wrapper when you do this, however, I still keep them and just pinch off a bit of butter with the wrapper if I feel that there is not enough to do a good job and use the wrapper to spread it around the pan. I used to use a sheet of paper towel to spread the butter in the pan to grease it, but now I save money by not needing to use the paper towel and time because the wrappers are pre-greased and I just need to grab one and the job is done. No mess either!
