Shortening Pack into dry measuring cup (USE PLASTIC WRAP FOR EASY CLEANING) The same can be done for peanut butter also!! Follow markings on the wrapper Water Displacement: USE A LIQUID MEASURING CUP – Subtract the amount to be measured from 1 c. The difference is the amount of water to be poured in the measuring cup. – Spoon in shortening until the water rises to the 1 c. mark. – Pour off the water and remove shortening with a rubber spatula.

Liquids Liquids include: water, milk, juice, vegetable or olive oil. Steps: Set LIQUID measuring cup on a LEVEL surface. Pour liquid into measuring cup. Check amount at eye level. Why? SO YOU DON’T GET TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE Add more or pour off until the top of the liquid is at the desired mark.

Small Amounts of Ingredients (dry or liquid) Use MEASURING SPOONS. Dry ingredients need to be LEVELED off with a spatula. – Examples: CINNAMON, SALT, SPICES Dc
