I’ve found an easier way to measure ingredients for recipes I use often. I weigh them instead of using measuring cups.
It’s faster than digging out measuring cups and there’s less cleanup too. Just place your bowl on the scale, tare the weight to zero and add ingredients. Brilliant!

You’re baking cupcakes or muffins, still have batter & need more muffin cup spaces.
No worries! I used canning rings and paper or silicone cupcake liners to expand the capacity of my muffin tin. That way I could bake all the batter into muffins at one time. What a helpful Homestead Hack.
