Common mistakes to avoid

  • Don’t confuse US cups with metric or UK cups; values change your batter hydration.
  • If you need weight, switch to the ingredient page (water ≈ 1 g/mL, oils are lighter).
Quick example 250 mL of milk ≈ 1.06 US cups. For baking, measuring 240 mL (1 cup) keeps ratios simpler.
