Measuring Liquid Ingredients

  

Liquid ingredients include water, oil, milk, juice, vanilla extract, etc. When measuring a 1/4 c. or more, use a liquid measuring cup. When measuring less than 1/4 c., use measuring spoons.

How to measure liquids:

  1. Place your liquid measuring cup on a level surface.
  2. Get down to eye level and pour liquid until it reaches the desired amount.
  3. If you are measuring liquid in a measuring spoon, fill the spoon until a slight dome is visible.
