List of Ingredients
Some recipes use additional instructions that require a specific amount
of
the ingredient. For example, a recipe might request "1 cup brown sugar,
firmly
packed", or "2 heaping cups flour".
Firmly Packed
With a spatula, a spoon, or your hand, tightly press the ingredient
into the
measuring cup. You should measure as much of the ingredient as you can
fit
into the measure.
Lightly Packed
Press the ingredient into the measuring cup lightly. Make sure there
are no
air pockets, but do not compress it too much either.
Even / Level
Measure the amount precisely, discarding the entire ingredient that
rises
above the rim of the measuring cup. The back of a straight knife works
well for
this.
Rounded
Do not flatten out the ingredient to the top of the measuring cup.
Instead
allow it to pile up above the rim naturally, into a soft, rounded
shape.
Heaping / Heaped
Pile as much of the ingredient on top of the measure as it can hold.
Sifted
Sift with a strainer or sifter before measuring to ensure ingredient is
not
compacted and that there is no other foreign substance in it.
