pack compactly
Until it follows the shape when
inverted .

 The Key to successful cooking and baking is to
always measure the ingredients carefully. Here are
some helpful measuring tips .

Dry ingredients ( like flour and sugar ) should be

measured using flat – cup measures. Ingredients
should be level . Back of a flat – bladed knife across
the surface is a good way to do this .

Spoon measures must be measured in jugs or in

measuring glass . Set the measuring glass on a flat
surface at eye level .
