TIPS

When measuring ingredients like butter, margarine or lard, use the density method! Pour a cup or two of water into a measuring cup and add your butter until the water level rises to the your original level plus what you need to measure out. For example, while measuring 0.5 cups of butter, I poured 2 cups of warm water and added butter until the water level rose to 2.5 cups. An added bonus is that the butter was already melty when I was done measuring!

If you don’t have anti-stick pans or non-stick cooking spray, take a paper towel and use it to spread margarine or butter all over your pan.

ENJOY!
