How to Use Parchment Paper Circles (And When to Skip Them)
Pre-cut parchment paper circles are one of those small upgrades that make a real difference in the kitchen. No more tracing pan bottoms, no more uneven cuts, no more parchment that bunches up mid-bake. Just press one flat into your greased pan, pour in your batter, and pull out a perfectly clean layer every time. This guide covers exactly how to use them, whether you need to grease them, when cutting your own makes more sense, and a few uses most bakers haven't thought of — including freezing and tart pans. If you bake cakes regularly, these are worth keeping in your pantry.
