HOW TO MEASURE SPOONFULS.** A spoonful of flour, sugar, butter or lard means a rounding spoonful-holding as much above the edge of the spoon as in the bowl. A spoonful of salt or spices means only as much as the bowl holds, level with the edge, unless otherwise specified.
One-half spoonful means half the contents-divided lengthwise. A heaping spoonful is as much as the spoon will hold. *NOTE.-Most cook-books use the terms as above, though recently cooking schools have adopted the use of the even spoonful invariably, to insure exactness, TIME TABLES FOR THE COOK.*
