MEASUREMENTS All measuremens for all materials called for in the recipes in this book are level. The standard measuring cup holds one-half pint and is divided into fourths and thirds. To make level measurements fill cup or spoon and scrape off excess with back of knife. One-half spoon is measured lengthwise of spoon. Sift flour for measuring. BAKING Regulate the oven carefully before mixing the ingredients. Many a cake otherwise perfectly prepared is spoiled because the oven is too hot or not hot enough. Biscuits and pastry require a hot oven; cakes, a moderate oven. When a cake is thoroughly baked it shrinks from the sides of the pan. A light touch with the finger which leaves no mark is another indication that the cake is baked.
