Here at Indigo Jones, we are big on the “unrecipe.” When cooking, we like to be flexible and use instinct to get the right amount of flavor to suit our palate. Baking is another story. Being casual with measurements can prove catastrophic.
When measuring dry ingredients, such as flour for baking, it is important to be consistent, to get consistent results.
We like to use the fluff, stuff and level method:
Fluff up the flour, scoop it into a measuring cup, and level it off with a knife. It’s easy, and effective.
Other ingredients, such as brown sugar need to be packed firmly into the cup when measuring, to ensure the correct amount.
Using these techniques will help ensure perfect baked goods every time!
