Weigh your ingredients. Get a scale that is accurate to the gram and if your recipe calls for cups and such find a conversion chart. I only follow recipes that give amounts in grams and milliliters. I'm American and baking is the only time I use the metric system. 90% of baking is technique and that only comes from practice so taking notes can help a lot while learning.
- GordonS 7y agoI do, and don't really have a problem with weighing things; my point was simply that I feel like I can't experiment. But you're probably right about needing practice - I tend to feel like I've failed when it goes wrong, and don't try again for ages. I'm British, so always use grams/millilitres when cooking - TBH, I wouldn't even know what "a cup of flour" was!
