Homemade Baking Spray (Pan Release Spray)

Non Stick Homemade Baking Spray. "Just Spread It On"
Non Stick Homemade Baking Spray Recipe (Pan Release Spread)


I've never really thought about making my own non-stick baking spray recipe. As much as I hate greasing and flouring my pans before baking or running out of that Bakers Joy stuff, you'd think I'd looked into it by now!

Thanks to my fabulous professional baker subbie Janelle, who sent me this wonderful recipe for non stick homemade baking spray (pan release spray.) It's what she uses in her bakery and I'm so thankful that she was kind enough to share this recipe with me.

I can not tell you how much I love this homemade baking spray. It's the whole greasing and flouring all in one! Simply brush it onto the pan and pour your batter into the pan. Done!! 

 It works great, better than the stuff in stores I must say. Not mention it last for so long, is so easy to make, and saves me money! "Just be sure to grease it generously" is what Janelle told me. I've yet to have a cake, cookie, muffin or bread stick to the pan since using this stuff. 

Watch me make this non stick homemade baking spray recipe (pan release spray) from start to finish!



INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup crisco

How to Make Homemade Cleaning Wipes




There are two items in this world that I am OBSESSED with!! I'm talking pure crackhead-style obsession! I GOTTA HAVE IT!!! Those two things are lipgloss and cleaning wipes. Oh...My...GOD!! When thosee cleaning wipes  came on the market I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. What a fabulous idea!!! I love the way they feel, smell and the concept to just wipe and toss and have a sanitized surface! GENIUS!

I went through can after can before I finally said "ok Monique you have got to get ahold of yourself!"  I was spending money that could have been used to buy  makeup or  #5's at McDonalds. These things go for about $5-$6 for about 70-50 wipes (depending on the brand) I could easily go through multiple cans a week.

AND THEN IT HAPPENED!!! God sent an appointed angel into my life!

I was speaking with a daycare teacher and she told me they made their own homemade cleaning & disinfectant wipes and that it was really easy & saved money since they go through so many a week. Yall I wanted to cry!  I mean just imagine someone coming up to you and saying "I have the recipe for MAC lipglass and here it is"  That's the joy & relief I felt.

She told me how she did it & I immediately went home and made up several batches using different cleaning solutions like lysol, Clorox, Windex and my favorite, purple FABULOSO!! I can't believe I had never thought to make my own homemade cleaning wipes! They are so easy and much durable than the store-bought ones in my opinion.

Thank you so much Mrs. Debbie for telling me about this!! My love for you is IMMEASURABLE!!!  If you ever need a kidney holla at me! I will even go easy on the sodas just so it will be nice & healthy for you.

INGREDIENTS

1 roll of extra strong paper towels
2-3 cups of your favorite cleaner
storage container
1 knife
cutting board

DIRECTIONS

1.  Cut paper towel roll in half
2.) Place inside of the container
3.) Pour cleaning solution over paper towels
4.) Close container and shake it up a bit so that the cleaning solution is absorbed
5.) Remove the cardboard tube. (It should come out easily if the towels are wet enough)

They are ready to use!!

Store in an airtight container to keep towels moist. You could also tear them apart, lay them in a tupperware container & pour the solution on them. Whichever way works best for you!! You can also make your own green, natural, nontoxic cleaning solution with vinegar & water. (which is what I used for my sons nursery. The vinegar smell only last for a few minutes.)
