  7. Small Amounts For amounts less than 1/4 c Use measuring spoons Fill to heaping full Level off Spoon sizes- 1 T., 1 tsp, ½ tsp, ¼ tsp ¾ tsp = ¼ + ¼ + ¼ or ½ + ¼ 1/8 tsp = ½ of ¼ or a pinch, or a few grains 1 ½ tsp = 1 tsp + ½ tsp ½ Tbls = 1 tsp + ½ tsp

  8. Measuring Shortening The method used would depend on the type of shortening used • Stick method: Margarine and butter sticks are marked in tablespoon increments. Cut off the amount needed 1 stick = 8 Tbls = ½ c ½ stick = 4 Tbls = ¼ c • Dry Measuring cup method: Used to measure solid shortening (Crisco) Pack into dry measuring cup. Press firmly with spoon to remove air bubbles. Use rubber scraper to remove

  9. Measuring Liquids • For liquids such as milk water juice oil vinegar • Set liquid measuring cup of a level surface • Fill measuring cup to approximate line • Check at eye level • Add more as needed 5. Use measuring spoons for small amounts – measure over waxed paper or sink.
