Homemade Pan Release Baking Spray Recipes

HOMEMADE CAKE RELEASE

Steps:

• Place all ingredients into a bowl and whisk until smooth.
• Brush onto pans before lining with parchment.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months at room temperature or 6 months in the fridge.

HOMEMADE PAN RELEASE

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
• Mix on low speed until the flour is moistening, then turn the speed to medium-low and mix until you have a smooth paste. (Alternately, you can use a firm spatula and stir everything together by hand.)
• Sometimes there will be small chunks of shortening in your pan release. This doesn't hurt anything, but if it bothers you, heat the pan release in very short intervals in the microwave (5-8 seconds), stirring after each one, until it is melted and smooth.
• Transfer the pan release to a container and label with the date. Store at room temperature out of direct sunlight. If it separates during storage, simply stir it together again.
• To use, dip a silicone pastry brush in the pan release and brush a thin, even layer on the bottom and sides of your cake pan before adding any cake batter.

HOMEMADE PAN RELEASE {BAKING SPRAY}

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in medium bowl and whisk well by hand. The mixture will be smooth and creamy.
• Store in airtight container in the refrigerator.
• When ready to use:
• Dip a pastry brush into the mixture and spread over bottom and sides of cake pan.

HOMEMADE CAKE RELEASE (CAKE GOOP)

Steps:

• Whisk together the shortening and vegetable oil in a medium bowl until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the flour until it becomes a smooth paste. When ready to use, spread a thin layer using a pastry brush on the inside of a cake pan before adding the batter and baking.
• Store cake release in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.

PAN RELEASE, PROFESSIONAL PAN COATING (BETTER THAN PAM SPRAY!)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
• Using an electric mixer beat until mixture has increased in volume slightly and resembles marshmallow cream.
• Place in a container with a lid and store on the counter or in a cupboard (in hot weather it may be refrigerated).
• The mixture tends to separate slightly upon sitting in your cupboard or refrigerator so mix before using, then brush pans using a pastry brush or a clean paper towel.
