How to Measure Dry Ingredients
![Page 11: Measuring Ingredients Module 1: Kitchen Basics. Measuring Ingredients: Introduction To produce quality cooked and baked products, it is important to measure](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfab1a28abf838c9ad56/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How to Measure Dry Ingredients
Because flour may settle and pack during shipping and storage, stir the flour in its container before you measure.
Flour
If the recipe calls for sifted flour, spoon the stirred flour into the sifter, sift the flour and then measure it.
![Page 12: Measuring Ingredients Module 1: Kitchen Basics. Measuring Ingredients: Introduction To produce quality cooked and baked products, it is important to measure](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfab1a28abf838c9ad56/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How to Measure Dry Ingredients
Flour
Spoon the flour into the dry measure measuring cup, filling to overflowing.
Level the flour off by dragging a straight-edged utensil across the top of the measuring cup.
![Page 13: Measuring Ingredients Module 1: Kitchen Basics. Measuring Ingredients: Introduction To produce quality cooked and baked products, it is important to measure](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfab1a28abf838c9ad56/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How to Measure Dry Ingredients
Granulated Sugar
Granulated (white) sugar does not pack, so no stirring is required before measuring.
Measure granulated sugar using the same method as is used for measuring flour.
![Page 14: Measuring Ingredients Module 1: Kitchen Basics. Measuring Ingredients: Introduction To produce quality cooked and baked products, it is important to measure](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfab1a28abf838c9ad56/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How to Measure Dry Ingredients
Brown Sugar
Brown sugar should be firmly packed into the dry measure measuring cup.
You will know if you have packed the sugar into the cup properly if the sugar holds its shape when dumped from the measuring cup.
![Page 15: Measuring Ingredients Module 1: Kitchen Basics. Measuring Ingredients: Introduction To produce quality cooked and baked products, it is important to measure](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfab1a28abf838c9ad56/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How to Measure Dry Ingredients
When small amounts of a dry ingredient, such as flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices, are to be measured, measuring spoons are used.
Small Amounts
Overfill the measuring spoon and level off the dry ingredient with a straight-edged utensil.

![Page 17: Measuring Ingredients Module 1: Kitchen Basics. Measuring Ingredients: Introduction To produce quality cooked and baked products, it is important to measure](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfab1a28abf838c9ad56/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How to Measure Liquid Ingredients
Measuring cups for liquid ingredients must be placed on a level surface when measuring. Avoid lifting the cup to read the measure as it will probably tilt causing you to read an inaccurate amount.
![Page 18: Measuring Ingredients Module 1: Kitchen Basics. Measuring Ingredients: Introduction To produce quality cooked and baked products, it is important to measure](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfab1a28abf838c9ad56/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How to Measure Liquid Ingredients
Once the measuring cup is on a level surface add the liquid you wish to measure.
Read the level of the liquid by bending down so that the measuring cup is at eye level. Read the liquid’s level at the bottom of the meniscus.

How to Measure Fats
Solid Fats
Solid fats include butter, margarine, lard and shortening.
Several methods of measurement may be used for solid fats, depending upon what kind of fat you will be measuring and how much fat you need to measure.
![Page 22: Measuring Ingredients Module 1: Kitchen Basics. Measuring Ingredients: Introduction To produce quality cooked and baked products, it is important to measure](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfab1a28abf838c9ad56/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How to Measure Fats
Soft Solid Fats
Soft fats, such as spreadable margarine or softened butter, can be carefully pressed into a dry measure (avoid trapping air bubbles) and leveled off with a straight-edged utensil.
