Mug Recipes

Introduction

My preference is Corning Meal Mugs, but any 20oz or larger cup, mug, or bowl should work fine.

I tend to pack my ingredients into my measuring devices, which significantly affects things like flour/Bisquick. I push my measuring cup into the Bisquick and up against the side of the box. That compresses it before I scrape it off level. For example, lightly pouring Bisquick into a 1/4 cup measuring cup might be around 33g. But the same measuring cup holds around 54g compressed. All my measurements for dry ingredients are with a bit of compression before leveling.
