Lots or recipes show both volume measurements (i.e. cups) and weight measurements (grams), but sometimes it doesn’t happen, so these are the fallback weights I use based on the ingredients I typically have on hand. Measuring by weight with a kitchen scale is more precise for baking and gets results closer to what the recipe intended.
