Baking soda or baking powder?
Baking soda (bicarbonate of soda in the UK) is about three to four times stronger than baking powder and needs an acid in the batter, like buttermilk or yogurt. Don't swap them one for one.
A packet of yeast
One US packet of instant or active dry yeast holds 2 ¼ teaspoons, which is 7 g – the same as a European sachet.
Salt: fine or coarse?
The chart is for fine table salt. Coarse kosher salt weighs noticeably less per teaspoon, so weigh it if your recipe gives grams.
