What does lining a cake tin mean

Loose-bottomed or spring-form tins do make it easier to lever your cake from the tin, but it is still worth preparing them with grease, flour and greaseproof paper as instructed by the recipe. To line a round tin, place the base of your tin on a sheet of greaseproof paper. Use a sharp pencil to outline the circumference of the tin.

Using a pair of scissors, cut around this line leaving a two-inch border which can be folded over. Snip along this additional margin so that this border can be folded up the sides of the tin. This should now fit snugly into the base of your tin. Now for the sides - take a strip of paper around one inch taller than the height of the tin and slightly longer than the circumference.

Cut inside this line slightly so that it fits neatly into the base of the tin. Grease the empty tin with a little butter on a piece of clean kitchen towel. Fit the circle of paper into the greased tin. The butter will help to stick it in place so that the cheesecake base mixture can be added.

Using clean kitchen towel, rub a little butter around the inside of the tin to grease it. Take a small handful or spoonful of flour and dust lightly around the inside of the greased tin.
