Measuring Liquids Use clear or plastic liquid measuring cups Always measure liquids on a level surface, at eye level Pour liquid into cup until it has reached the line Never hold cup up or read measurements above cup!
Measuring Dry Ingredients Always use a dry measuring cup that is the exact size you need Spoon ingredients into cup, and then level off with a straight edge
Measuring Flour Flour settles when stored Make sure to stir up well before measuring Stiring makes it lighter, giving you an accurate measurement
Measuring Brown Sugar High in moisture Always pack sugar into a dry measuring cup, until level Sugar should hold its shape when turned upside down
Measuring Butter, Shortening or Margarine Use a rubber spatula, pack dry measuring cup with butter Making sure that it is packed tightly so you are getting only the butter and not air
