USING MILLILITERS TO MEASURE LIQUID
When preparing a dessert, it’s crucial to measure ingredients accurately.
For instance, adding a quarter teaspoon of vanilla extract subtly but effectively enhances the flavor.
Whether you’re measuring liquid ingredients like oil or milk, using a regular teaspoon ensures precision.
Sometimes, recipes call for a rounded teaspoon of dry ingredients like baking powder, which differs from the level measurement of a regular teaspoon.
