MEASURING DRY AND LIQUID INGREDIENTS ACCURATELY
Proper measuring is vital and critical to baking. Baking is a science, and when
you mix ingredients, you are emphasizing that being precise is important. There
is balance between flour, fats, and liquids. Measuring cup and measuring
spoon are the best tools used in measuring dry ingredients. There are three
methods for filling a dry measuring cup– sifting, spooning, and
scooping. But before measuring, read the recipe and the ingredients list that
can offer useful clues on how to measure them. Flour, sugar, and baking
soda are some of the examples of dry ingredients.
On the other hand, water, milk, juice and eggs are some of the examples
of liquid ingredients. These are commonly used in baking bread. Measuring
liquid ingredients are different from measuring dry ingredients. The most
common tool in measuring large amount of liquid ingredients is measuring cup or
measuring jug. It can be made of metal, glass or plastic in which the
measurement can be read from the external scale, whether transparent or
translucent.
Here are some of the techniques on how to measure different baking ingredients
correctly.
Measuring by volume:
1. Sift the flour to remove lumps. 2. Scoop the flour into the
measuring cup.
3. Level it with the use of spatula.
Measuring by weight of dry
ingredients.
√ The best tool used in measuring by weight is digital
weighing scale
1. Sift the flour to remove the lumps. 2.
Place the small bowl on the digital
weighing scale then set the weighing
scale.
3. Scoop the dry ingredients into the bowl
until you reach the desired measurement
needed in the recipe.
Measuring Granulated sugar
It is not necessary to sift the sugar. Fill the measuring cup or scoop the sugar
until it overflows. Do not shake the measuring cup then level the sugar with a
spatula.
Measuring Brown Sugar
Scoop and pack the brown sugar into a measuring cup. Press the sugar using
your hand or spoon. Flip the cup into the plate. The brown sugar is molded into
the shape of the cup.
Measuring Liquid Ingredients
1. Prepare the liquid measuring cup.
2. Place the cup on a flat surface and pour the liquid until it reaches the correct
line on the measuring cup.
3. Place the cup on a flat surface and pour the liquid until it reaches the correct
line on the measuring cup.
Measuring Solid Fats (Lard, margarine, shortening etc.)
Fill the measuring cup with solid fats while pressing until it is full.
