How to Grease & Line a Square Cake Tin
Prep
Make sure you grease and line your cake tin to prevent the cake from sticking to the side whilst baking, making it difficult to remove from the tin. Use a pastry brush and brush a small amount of butter or oil around the sides of the tin.
Method
Step 1
Measure the width and length of the tin and add the measurements together. Cut a strip of baking parchment slightly longer than the total measurement of the tin and a few inches higher. Fold it back about 1 inch along its length, then snip it at an angle at intervals up to the fold, making a fringe effect.
Step 2
To attach the baking paper around the side of the tin press the paper and it will stick to the butter/oil, the snipped edge should overlap on the base of the tin.
Step 3
To cut the rectangle base out use the tin as a template, drawing round the base with a pencil. Cut this out to fit over the snipped paper over the base.
