Measuring Dry Ingredients

Dry ingredients like flour and sugar are best measured in dry measuring cups.

There are many methods for filling a dry measuring cup - sifting, spooning, scooping.

Flour

Stir flour in the storage container or bag. Using a large spoon, lightly spoon flour from the container into the measuring cup. Do not shake the cup and do not pack the flour. Using the back of a knife or flat blade spatula, level off the flour even with the top edge of the measuring cup. Don't use the measuring cup to scoop the flour out of the container. You can end up with 150% of the correct measurement if you do this! One cup of correctly measured flour should weigh about 120 to 125 grams.

·

A properly measured dry cup of flour should have a flat top surface that is level with the brim of the cup.

Sugar

Sugar is measured by scooping the cup or measuring spoon into the container or bag until it is overflowing, then leveling off with the back of a knife.

Baking Powder and Baking Soda

Stir in the container. Using the measuring spoon, lightly scoop out of the container. Use the back of a knife to level off even with the top edge of the measuring spoon.
