Recipes for baked goods often call for greased and floured pans, a process that involves oiling a pan down, then sprinkling flour inside and shaking the pan until it's equally distributed. However, professional bakers don't often use this method because it can leave flour on your baked goods and make them cook unevenly. Instead they mix up a batch of "baker's magic", and now you can too. Mix 1/2 cup room temperature vegetable shortening , 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Blend the mixture well and use it to grease pans. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to six months.
