How to Measure Buttermilk Correctly (Scoop vs. Scale)
Pour Buttermilk into a certified liquid measuring cup on a level counter and verify at eye level, or weigh on a digital scale (1 cup = 240g).
Inaccurate volume measurement alters the moisture and dry-to-wet balance of your recipe, resulting in inconsistent crumb density, bake time, and rise.
