MEASURING FLOUR I

Read the recipe carefully before proceeding.

If the recipe does not specify sifted flour use a spoon to gently stir the flour in the storage container to loosen up any settling.

Place the desired dry measuring cup onto a piece of waxed paper, or into a larger bowl. This will contain any spills for easy transfer back to the flour canister.

Scoop some flour from the canister with a spoon and place it in the desired dry measuring cup.

Using a straight edge (spoon handle or spatula) level off the top of the flour in the cup.

Place the measured flour into your mixing bowl and return the overflow caught on your waxed paper or bowl to the canister.
