Definition: file away

Line the sides of a container with buttered baking paper to make it easier to remove the contents. This is also known as "chemisage" when the sides are lined with ice cream, caramel, sauce, jelly or biscuits (e.g. charlottes). Line a mould with buttered white paper. Apply a layer of dough, butter and flour, biscuit, paper, jelly, salad, ham or other ingredients to the sides of a mould before filling the centre of the mould with another mixture (e.g. charlotte).
