Accurate Measurements

Careful measurements are necessary in order to obtain good results.  The cup in which the flour is measured should be used for measuring the other ingredients.  A standard cup contains one-half pint.  16 tablespoonfuls = 1 cup; 3 teaspoonfuls = 1 tablespoonful.

All measurements should be level.  Dry ingredients should be leveled off with a knife.  A cupful of liquid is as much as the cup will hold without running over.
