How to measure baking powder

Small amounts are measured with level measuring spoons; for spices a tiny weighing error matters little, but for salt and leaveners use level spoons.

One level teaspoon is 4 g. Recipes rarely use more than a few teaspoons.

Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
