2 spoons = 2 barspoons. To be precise use a 5ml chef's measure as your spoon and fill it with powdered sugar so flat across the top of the measure. I use a mortar and pestle to grind the sugar into a powder and I then scoop the sugar with the chef's measure. I then knock the measure on the side of the mortar to remove excess sugar to leave a flat meaure of sugar.
