I've tried the frozen ones and they were o.k. I like them crispy, nice
and brown ... well, like my grandma used to make them. Maybe the
refrigerator pancakes might work. Do you dip them out with a measuring
cup or sppon and fry them?

You could pour some of the liquid in a container & dip out with your measuring
spoon the amount you will need. Then place a funnel in the container you poured
from & pour any remaining liquid back into its original container.

There are two possible ways: one. Use a eyedropper. To pour some of what you
need to measure into a jar like a baby jar or some other jar. Then stick your
measuring spoon into the jar to fill it. Hope that helps.

might help. Also if they are precooked it might be an easy task to just heat

I usually always pour liquids over a bowl or the sink.
If I pour in to a bowl, I use my kitchen funnel to pour it back in the bottle
when done, so I don't loose any of it.

One of the methods for measuring small amounts of liquids is to bend
your mettle measuring sppons. Pour the liquid in a small jar or dish
with a lid, and when you want to measure it, take your bent measuring

I like the syringe idea, and dipping also works. If you dip, buy a set of
metal measuring spoons so you can bend the bowl part of the spoon to be at a 90
degree angle to the handle which would allow you to put the spoon strate in
until the bowl parts under the surface of the liquid and then

We used to be able to find syringes with the shaft marked at
different points. We could draw up a half teaspoon or whatever, and
then it was measured correctly. Don't know if they still exist, though.

Sometimes if the recipe calls for an eighth of a teaspoon, I will just
put my finger at the edge of the bottle, and just put a splash. With
vanilla, I always tend to add more than the recipe calls for, although I
wouldn't want to make my recipe bitter. Sometimes it's just trial and
error,
You can find them at Wal-Mart, or at least, that's where I used to
find them. You need to put your liquid into a small jar so that you

We use the frozen pancakes and put them on a plate stacked as they
come out of the package and we cook them on high for about 50
seconds. It says to cook them for 45 seconds, but that doesn't
usually do it, even in a 1,200 watt microwave. Who'd have thunk!

I think if you have no vision using a syringe would be hard unless maybe

That was my concern when first thinking about the eyedropper suggestion many

you put little cuts in the side of the plunger you will know how much you have

No, not hard, at all. You feel the shaft of the syringe, and there
should be little divots in there at certain points. Just make sure
when you buy it that it has the divots where you want them.

You can scratch a marking with a knife. Then you fill it to that point. So
you only need sighted help when you are putting the mark on the little stick

I guess I will need to transfer my extracts into jars. They take up more
room that way. I don't like that, but I guess there's nothing to do about
it.
I have a kit for making my own vanilla. The bottles are a big pain to open
and close, but I think I could get the syringe in there if I tried.
If you take sample bottles to your favorite pharmacy, there is a good chance
they can find a syringe that will fit into your bottle and even reach to its
bottom. They come in a variety of sizes and thicknesses.

You can get syringes off Amazon. That is where I get mine.
I most commonly use 1 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml, and 30 ml syringes. I have been lucky
and the ones I get are at least pre-marked at the half way point.
I have also got some with blunt plastic needles so you can reach further
down in to a bottle.
Yes, a baby food jar is perfect. You can't buy a syringe with a
needle unless you have a prescription for that, so you're good to go,
and won't get poked.

I don’t see why doing them in the skillet wouldn’t work just fine. You’d still
