Lets talk ingredients continued
The following are some hints on measuring
ingredients.
Wet Ingredients
Place the measuring jug on a level surface
and check the measurement at eye level.
Dry ingredients
Always use a standard metric measuring cup
and spoon to measure out dry ingredients.
Tap the cup lightly on the kitchen bench
top before leveling with a knife. Sift dry
ingredients to aerate and remove any lumps.

Raising Agents
Crush any lumps, particularly in bicarbonate
of soda, before measuring.
Cheese and Breadcrumbs
Lightly pack grated cheese and soft
breadcrumbs into the cup before leveling for
accurate measurement.
Fats and Oils
Cut or spoon solid fats (butter, margarine,
shortening) from the block or container and
weigh using metric scales. Measure oils as
you would other wet ingredients.
