Conversions for Baking Ingredients
The weight of a cup of flour can vary depending on the type you're using. Without a kitchen scale, you may need to refer to weight-to-volume conversions.
Accurate measurements are crucial in baking, where precision makes all the difference. An error in measurement can disrupt the balance of ingredients and spoil your recipe.
