Helpful cooking hint #1

Welcome to the first of what may possibly become a series of helpful hints from me, depending of course on how much time I spend in the kitchen.

I am on a pancake kick these days. I made some Sunday and made some more this morning.

Now here's the hint: When measuring out ingredients that tend to fly around, like flour or pancake mix, place your measuring cup in large mixing bowl. That way the excess ingredients fall into the bowl, and not on the counter.

What do you think of that?
