Lesson 2

Techniques in
Measuring
Flours
1. SIFTED FLOUR
- Sift the flour once, then spoon slightly into the measuring
cup until flour overflows. Do not shake the cup while or after
measuring. Level the flour with a spatula or the straight edge
of a knife.
2. UNSIFTED FLOUR
-Spoon the flour into the measuring cup until it overflows. Do

not shake the cup. Level it with spatula or the straight edge of
knife.
3. CORNMEAL FLOUR AND SIMILAR PRODUCTS
-Stir the flour lightly first with a fork. Then, measure using the
FATS AND OILS
1. SHORTENING, MARGARINE, AND BUTTER
a. For the standard cup or a fraction of a cup such as 1/2, 1/3 or ¼ , simply press the
shortening, margarine, or butter into the cup using a spoon. Press continuously until all
spaces of the cup had been filled up. Then, level with a spatula or the straight edge of
a knife.
b. Use tablespoon for a fraction of a cup (e.g., 4 tablespoons for ¼ cup; 2 tablespoons
for 1/8 cup). Follow the same procedure for standard cup
c. For easy measurement of butter, one bar of butter (200 grams) is approximately one
cup. If you need a fraction of a cup, simply divide the bar as required. For ½ cup,
divide the bar into 2 equal parts (each part is ½ cup); for 1/3 cup, divide the bar into 4
equal parts (each part is ½ cup), and so on.
2. LIQUID FAT OR OIL
-Pour the oil or liquid fat into the glass

measuring cup until it reaches the
measuring mark. See to it that the glass
measuring cup stands on a levelled
surface.
DRY AND LIQUID MILK
1. DRY OR POWDERED MILK
- Spoon the powdered milk into the measuring
cup until it fills the cup to overflowing. Level
with a spatula or the straight edge of a knife.
Do not shake the cup while or after filling.
Use the same procedure using standard
tablespoons, as required.
2. LIQUID MILK
- Pour the milk into the glass measuring
cup until it reaches the measuring mark.
See to it that the glass measuring cup
stands on a levelled surface.
SUGAR
1. WHITE SUGAR
- Remove lumps, if any. Then, spoon the sugar into the measuring cup
until it overflows. Level with a spatula or the straight edge of a knife.
2. BROWN SUGAR
- Remove or break up lumps, if any. Then pack the sugar into the cup using the
back of a spoon to fill up all empty spaces. Press the sugar firmly so it keeps the
shape of the cup when removed.
3. SYRUP, MOLASSES, AND SIMILAR PRODUCTS
-Pour syrup into the cup or measuring spoons, as required.

Powdered Ingredients
Required in Small Quantities
• This includes baking powder, baking soda, fine salt, yeast in granules, powdered cinnamon,
and similar products.
1. To measure tablespoon or teaspoon, fill up to overflow, then level with a spatula or the
straight edge of a knife.
2. To measure the division of a tablespoon or teaspoon, fill up one tablespoon or one
teaspoon, fill up one tablespoon or one teaspoon with the powder. Level the straight edge of
a knife.
A. For ½ tablespoon or ½ teaspoon, divide the powder lengthwise in the spoon with a knife
and push half of the powder into the container.
B. For ¾ tablespoon or ¾ teaspoon, divide the spoonful into quarters, or 4 parts. Push one
quarter or one part into the container.
