Add 1-2 tablespoons of almond flour or coconut flour to the pan and tilt, turn and tap for a fine coating of the entire surface, ensuring all of the butter or shortening is covered with flour. Then gently tap the pan against the side of your sink to knock out any excess flour.

Expert tips for preparing the bundt pan
Butter is fine to grease the pan, I've always had success with it as a cake release agent.
Do not use cooking spray. It tends to be too thin and will run down the sides of the pan and pool at the bottom. It will get goopy with the flour and will make your cake stick.
