Looking to save some time on those holiday and special occasion baking days? 

I’m not sure which web site I found this on, but it was posted by the lady at http://www.thefrugalshopper.com . This mixture is really helpful at holiday time when you are cranking out a ton of recipes calling for “greased and floured pans”.

1 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup shortening, 1 cup flour. Mix these ingredients together with a mixer until smooth, and store in an airtight container in your refrigerator. Apply to cake, muffin or pie tins with a piece of waxed paper when called for in a recipe.

This sure beats the heck out of greasing a pan, getting out the flour and shaking it around the pan until it’s coated, dumping out the extra and wiping it up. . . you remember the drill. This stuff is a huge time saver!
