Get It All Out!

Be sure to wipe out of your measuring cup or spoons all of something heavy or sticky to make sure it gets into your recipe. Successful baking depends upon exact measurements and you can lose up to a third of your ingredients golden syrup, honey, etc. if you leave some behind in spoon or cup. I often run the tip of my little finger into the bowl of a spoon to get the last bit, or use a tiny spatula to make sure all of my ingredients end up in the recipe.
