Measuring Goofs
Directions: Pete decided to surprise everyone and make a batch of cookies. Can you spot Pete’s measuring goofs? Read how Pete did the measuring and see if you can spot his four measuring goofs. List the goofs in the numbered spaces below and then explain how to do each one correctly.
Pete’s Cookies
The first ingredient the recipe called for was flour. Pete got out the flour canister, put the flour in the measuring cup, tapped the cup to be sure it was full, and leveled it off. The next ingredient was brown sugar. Since the grains seemed to stick together, he tried to sift the brown sugar to separate the grains. Then the recipe called for butter or margarine. Pete found some sticks of margarine in the refrigerator. He needed a cup of margarine, so he used two one-quarter pound sticks. He also needed three-quarters of a cup of milk. He poured the milk into a size ½ measuring cup and a size ¼ measuring cup giving him ¾ cup. Next, he had to measure two teaspoons of baking powder. He got a teaspoon from the table silver and took two scoops of baking powder, leveling off each one.
