Measuring dry ingredients with cup measures

Measuring dry ingredients with cup measures

29 Aug 2017 - Anneka Manning

When measuring dry ingredients with measuring cups, rather than scales, the most accurate way to do this is to:

  1. Spoon the ingredient into the cup
  2. Use the back of a knife to level the surface with the top of the cup.
There is no need to tap the cup on the bench or force the ingredient into the cup unless it specifies 'firmly packed' (which brown sugar sometimes does).
