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