I'm always happy to open a new container of baking products.
It's almost as though I expect my goodies will turn out magically lighter and fluffier.
Did your Mom always slice the sealed paper lid in half so that she had a perfect leveler for her measuring spoons?
Mine did ..
and I always do too.
Somethings just don't get any easier.
all for now ..
My mom did the same thing and I do it too....religiously! Funny, I was thinking about this very topic just yesterday as I made up a batch of buns that had a tsp of baking powder in them.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy reading your blog! Keep writing!
Hey - that's a wonderful tip. Can't wait to get a new box so I can do this too. Better get baking :)!
ReplyDeleteMine didn't...but what a good idea.
ReplyDeleteMy mom did not teach me that trick, but I will show you what she taught me at the Show this weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy mom also did not teach me that trick. She always uses rounded spoons...and I do that quite often as well . . .which can become a problem when giving away recipes. I've had to do a fair bit of recalculating.
ReplyDeleteHa! Now that's a great idea and no...my mom never did that. Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeletefirst time i've seen that; it's genius (and so simple!) thanks :)
ReplyDeletethat's a helpful tip! thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe memories that you do envoke !!! Have fun at the show this weekend

Yes, she did. And somehow I'd forgotten that trick. Good thing my baking powder is getting low. ☺
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat trick! I was just thinking today that I really do need to get back to leveling my ingredients. Some things lately haven't turned out right, and I think maybe that's why. I've gotten lazy!
ReplyDeleteYes, my mom did the same thing and I do too. My kids and husband however, I am still teaching.
ReplyDeleteNeat idea! I usually just level off the measuring spoon with the baking powder lid.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I've never heard it before.
