What Is A Patty Pan Tin?
A patty pan tin is a type of baking pan with several small cup-shaped depressions to hold the mixture or dough of small cakes, muffins or tartlets. The patty pan tin usually has a scalloped edge that creates a decorative shape on the top of the baked goods. It is typically made of metal, but can also be found in silicone or other non-stick materials. The tin is named after the small, round, flattened pumpkin of the same name, as the scalloped edges of the baked goods resemble the edges of a patty pan squash.
