    OK but, how did they figure out that they had precisely 3.3 tsp of baking powder? What kind of measurement device would tell you that? 3.25, yes. 3.5, yes. Because you have quarter and half tsp measuring spoons, but no spoons to measure a decimal portion of volume.

      For baking powder, eye-balling a fraction of a teaspoon in that spoon is good enough for baking. Use weight instead (for all ingredients) if you want any kind of precision and accuracy; measure in grams to make scaling easier. Once you learn this, you’ll never want to go back to cups and spoons.
