| Other recipes | How to Measure Ingredients |
It is absolutely necessary to measure all ingredients correctly to insure success in cooking. Satisfactory results have been attained, occasionally, by those of long experience and good judgment in measuring by sight; but when failures are made, discouragement follows and, too, habits of wastefulness are acquired by this "hit or miss" method. The majority of people need a definite system of measurements which, when carefully followed, must yield good results. Granite, glass and tin measuring cups, divided in thirds and quarters, holding one-half pint, table and teaspoons of regulation size, a common case knife, all of which may be purchased at any kitchen furnishing store, are ^mong the essential articles for measuring correctly. Flour, meal, powdered sugar, soda, mustard, ginger, baking powder, and all ingredients which stand in boxes, settle and sometimes harden in lumps, shouldbe crushed and sifted before measuring. A cupful is a half-pint cup filled, and leveled with a knife. From The Corn Cook Book, 1918, page 12. Read from the scan by computer, so a word may be off; the page itself shows the original. | |
