Don’t forget to add a spoon___ of sugar, and some milk. Hello! In Don’t forget to add a spoon___ of sugar, and some milk. the answer is "spooful". I was wondering is it correct to say simply, "Don’t forget to add a spoon of sugar, and some milk." Without adding a suffix -ful to "spoon".

Yes, we'd understand 'a spoon of sugar' to mean the same as 'a spoonful of sugar' (note the single 'l').
