Pro Baker's Tip

For the most accurate results, always weigh your dairy products! Volume measurements can vary by up to 10% depending on temperature, brand, and even how you pour. Greek yogurt especially varies between brands - Fage can be 290g/cup while others are 280g/cup. When working with ounces, remember: fl oz measures volume, not weight. 1 cup = 8 fl oz for all liquids, but the weight in grams varies by density.
