Tip: To accurately measure flour (dry ingredients), spoon it lightly into a dry measuring cup and
level with a spatula or the back of a knife.
Tip: If a recipe calls for sifting several dry ingredients, just put all the ingredients in a mixing
bowl and stir with a whisk. It is much quicker and easier.
