Is a Tablespoon Heaped?

For dry ingredients, if a recipe calls for a level tablespoon, the usual meaning without further qualification, is measured by filling the spoon and scraping it level. In contrast, a heaped, heaping, or rounded spoonful is not leveled off, and includes a heap above the spoon.

What is heaped tbsp?

A heaping tablespoon is a tablespoon without the top leveled out. You don't have to use cups- use a regular-sized spoon if you don't have a teaspoon measure. (A regular sized spoon is the size of a tablespoon and a smaller spoon is the size of a teaspoon, if I'm not mistaken.)
