How to Measure Liquid Ingredients • Use a liquid measuring cup, which is usually a clear cup, plastic or glass • Place the cup on a counter. • Bend down to eye level with the cup, and slowly, start pouring the liquid. Stop when it reaches the needed amount.
How to Measure Dry Ingredients • Dry ingredients are: flour, baking soda, baking powder, powdered or confectioner’s sugar • First, sift the dry ingredients, if the recipe calls for it • Second, spoon the dry ingredients into the measuring cup • Third, level the dry ingredients with a knife or spatula.
How to Measure Solid Ingredients • Solid ingredients are brown sugar, shortening, mashed sweet potatoes or pumpkin • First, spoon the ingredient into the dry measuring cup, press down (pack) with the spoon, then level.
How to Measure With Measuring Spoons • You must follow the same guidelines as with measuring cups. • Never measure dry ingredients with a heaping measuring spoon.
