There is no doubt about it; weighing is faster, easier, and more accurate than measuring.
The gram have been rounded off to the nearest whole number without decimal points (except for leavening which needs to be more precise).
For those who measure instead of weigh, the dip and sweep method of measuring refers to dipping the measuring cup into a bin containing the ingredient and sweeping off the excess with a long, flat spatula or knife. Be sure to whisk the flour lightly first as in settles on standing.
Lighty spooned into cup refers to spooning the ingredient into the cup and then sweeping of the excess with a long, flat spatula or blade. This method yields less of the ingredient than the dip and sweep method.
Sifted means that the ingredient is sifted into a cup that is sitting on counter. The cup is never touched or (perish the thought) shaken. Only the handle is held when the excess is swept off with a spatula or knife.
*Liquid igredients, including honey and other syrups, should be measured in a liquid measure with a spout. There is a difference in volume between liquid and solid measuring cups. The most accurate liquid measure at the present time is made by Oven Basics.
