The parchment paper tip is fantastic, what a huge help.
Some of the snow men/women were pretty impressive.

I snickered at the parchment paper thing. Personally, I just roll the sheet in the opposite direction. Whatever works I guess.
4/10 on speaking 2024, and three of those were guesses.
And my New Year's resolution is simple, direct, and pretty much the same every year: Stop lying to myself about making lifestyle changes. In short, I'm rawdogging life.
Hi, I'm back again. That parchment paper thing has been gnawing at me since I first read it and I think Miss C, the most excellent baker that she certainly is was too polite to say anything. That, and we can't post memes here. So yeah, memes. Specifically the Picard WTF Meme. You know what that one is. He yelling with his arm outstretched: W.T.F! Got it? So, picture that in the white space below.
If you're going to use butter to 'glue' your parchment paper to the pan..

WTF are you using parchment paper for?
Gen-z-ers. Oi. I feel better now and am going back to my egg nog. With extra nutmeg just to take the edge off the spiced rum. Or not.
Happy New Year Miss C!
Happy New Year, gwdMaine!
I was under the impression the butter/oil was just to hold the corners of the parchment paper down while you load what ever your making.
I've tried turning it over but then the middle lays down then arches to the ends standing up but at least it's not rolling up. Mashing it works or line you cupboard shelves with several layers and snip off what you need when you need it.
I went to the supermarket today (what a zoo) and still no Jaffa cakes.

Honestly, I thought the parchment article was the lamest of all the links, and I almost dropped it. I've used parchment paper for baking maybe once or twice in my life.
