1 Ladle of sugar... can't go wrong then
An It Harm None, Do What You Will
teaspoons full
Some language experts say the first sentence is correct because the word teaspoon is the noun and ful modifies it. AP style, however, calls for adding an s to compound words that are solid on the argument that the two words together form a complete noun: handfuls, cupfuls, tablespoonfuls. (Still other wordsmiths would argue that teaspoonful is an unnecessarily long word and the proper wording here should be: The recipe called for two teaspoons of sugar.)
