What I Need to know
What is Mensuration?
Baking is a science and it requires all the precision you would expect when
doing a chemical experiment. When you mix together the ingredients, you’re creating
chemistry, so being precise is important. There is balance between flour, leaveners,
fats, and liquids. Your ingredient measurements have to be precise to get the
chemical reactions you need and to achieve the right outcome of your product,
consistent result every time. Proper measuring is important to baking.
In this guide, we'll look at the most commonly used cooking weights and
measures, and how to use it properly in the kitchen.

What is it?
The key to successful cooking and baking is to always measure the ingredients carefully.
Here are some helpful measuring tips.
Dry ingredients (like flour and sugar) should be measured using flat-cup
measures. Ingredients should be level. Back of a flat-bladed knife across
the surface is a good way to do this.
Example
A. Flour
