Understanding Ingredient Densities

Tips for Accurate Measuring

Measuring Flour

Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level with a knife. Don't scoop directly from the bag or pack it down, as this can add up to 30% more flour.

Measuring Sugar

Granulated sugar can be scooped and leveled. Brown sugar should be firmly packed into the cup - it should hold its shape when turned out.

Measuring Liquids

Use a liquid measuring cup and read at eye level. Place the cup on a flat surface and bend down to read the meniscus (bottom curve) of the liquid.

Use Weight When Possible
