I'm buttering the pan UNDER the parchment paper?  And then the paper also?  Thanks!

Thanks Elizabethdx!  Seems like overkill to me.  I'm a gambler, so when I make it with *just* parchment paper, I'll report back!  :)

I see this direction a lot in recipes where you want a little insurance that nothing or not much  will stick when you lift off the pan. I think of it as extra protection in case some of the crust seeps under the parchment.

Thanks Carol.  I just read it yesterday.  I'm perplexed why you'd need butter UNDER the parchment paper?!

Carol S. · Answer

Yes, that is stated in the directions.  I'm reading this Thursday, 9/26, so I'm not sure if the directions have been amended since you read them.
