Baking measurement tips
-
For flour
Use the spoon-and-level method if you do not have a kitchen scale.
-
For brown sugar
Check whether the recipe says packed or loosely packed.
-
For butter
Butter is easier to convert because it is often labeled in sticks, tablespoons, grams, and cups.
-
For liquids
For milk and water, grams and milliliters are almost the same; honey and syrup weigh more.
