Bake by Weight, Not by Cup
Iris Calloway · May 11, 2026 · Baking
A cup of flour can vary by a third depending on how you scoop it, and in baking that margin is the difference between tender and tough.
Weighing is faster and cleaner. You tare the bowl and add each ingredient by the number.
Once you switch, recipes become repeatable, because numbers do not drift the way scoops do.
