When measuring dry ingredients like flour, sugar, powdered sugar or cocoa place the measuring cup on a flexible paper plate.
Any that spills over the measuring cup is easily returned to the canister or package.

I'm Ellen, a freelance writer, recipe developer and former correspondent for the Tampa Bay Times where I wrote a regular TASTE section feature as well as reviewed cookbooks for more than 15 years. My Mom and my kids are the inspiration for Family Around the Table. My Grandmother too. I remember my Grandmother making fresh pasta for dinner. She was from Italy and a very good cook so I come by my love of cooking naturally. My Mom inherited her cooking skills too.
