Tips for Accurate Kitchen Measuring
Dry and liquid measuring cups serve different purposes. Liquid measuring cups have a pour spout and are read at eye level at the meniscus. Dry measuring cups are designed to be leveled off at the top with a straight edge.
For flour: spoon it into the cup and level with a knife. Don't scoop directly from the bag — scooping packs the flour and you'll end up with 20–30% more than the recipe intended. This is the number one cause of dense, dry baked goods.
For the best baking accuracy, weigh your ingredients in grams using a kitchen scale. A cup of flour can vary from 100–160 g depending on technique, but 120 g on a scale is always 120 g.
