One that's overflowing.. as in a heaping teaspoon. Dip the spoon in and rather than scrape the excess off the top to the level of the spoon (..a level teaspoon) just use it all. A heaping teaspoon is never exact. Same goes with any measure (i.e. cup, etc) It is a measure of dry ingredients as they are the only thing that can "Heap".

A heaping means overflowing... like if you need a heaping teaspoon of something... then you dont level it off at the top, you just scoop and have as much as it can hold.

a heaping cup or table spoon or teaspoon is when you use the size measure called out but instead of levelling it out for an accurate measure you keep as much of it in and on the measure as you can.

You mean like a "heaping tablespoon" of something? It's a rounded scoop, rather than a level measure.

heaping is just not a "level measurement" . ex. if you were measuring a T of flour, you'd use a butter knife and go over the T to make it even, if it calls for heaping, you just lift it out of the flour without leveling it off.

As in a "heaping" teaspoon? Fill the teaspoon and leave a little on top so that it makes a hill.

the opposite of level
usually in baking, it's pretty exact measurements because it's so much like a science
when they refer to heaping it's slightly over level
example if it calls for one heaping tablespoon of flour, take your tablespoon measure and scoop it into the flour and instead of swiping over the top to make it level, leave the excess on top.

Usually, when you measure dry ingredients, you are supposed to level them off to be even with the edge of the measuring cup/spoon you're using. "Heaping" means to measure the ingredient without taking any extra off, allow it to be mounded in the measuring spoon/cup.

usually that goes along with something like "a heaping teaspoon of..." Which just means you really need to pile it on the utensil you're using.
