Measuring flour by the cup
Use plain all-purpose flour. A cup changes with how you fill it; use the recipe's gram weight when it gives one.
Level dry ingredients with a flat edge instead of leaving a heap, and read liquids on a flat surface at eye level. When a recipe gives grams, a kitchen scale is the surest way to match it.
