Answer:
1. Fill measuring cup until it overflows. Spoon flour or other light, powdery dry ingredient into your measuring cup until it domes up over the top. (Don’t scoop with the cup and shake off the excess, because this will cause the ingredient to become slightly packed, and you’ll end up with more than the recipe calls for.)
2. Level it off with the back of a knife. Run the flat edge of a knife over the top of the measuring cup to level it off. This will ensure that you’ve measured the exact amount the recipe calls for.
3. Fill measuring spoon. To measure light and fluffy ingredients, put the ingredient into the measuring spoon with another spoon or scoop, until it domes up over the top of the measuring spoon.
