GENERAL DIRECTION
Making Accurate Measurements
In order to insure perfect results measurements should be accurately made and directions carefully followed. Use standard measuring cups and spoons and make all measurements absolutely level. In order to do this fill the cup or spoon and then level with a knife. Half, quarter, and third cupfuls are indicated by marks on the cup. To measure a half spoonful, fill the spoon, level, and then divide lengthwise. To measure a quarter spoonful divide the halves crosswise.
Flour should always be sifted once before measuring.
In measuring butter and other solid fats, pack solidly. When the recipe calls for a certain amount of butter melted, measure before melting. When it calls for melted butter, measure after melting.
