Baking Tips for Perfect Measurements

  1. Weigh Your Ingredients: A digital kitchen scale ensures precise measurements for both dry and liquid ingredients.
  2. Use the Right Tools: For dry ingredients, use measuring cups with a flat top. For liquids, use a measuring jug with a spout.
  3. Spoon and Level: When measuring flour, spoon it into the cup and level it off with a knife—this prevents overpacking.

What Unit of Measurement Should I Use When Baking?

In baking, precision is everything. Grams are the most accurate unit for dry ingredients because they leave little room for error, while milliliters are ideal for liquids. If you’re accustomed to using measuring cups, try investing in a kitchen scale for better accuracy—it will save time and ensure consistent results.
