Why baking powder spoon weights vary
Baking powder is a fine leavening powder, so a rounded spoon or settled canister can weigh more than a freshly fluffed, level spoon. This converter uses 4 grams per level teaspoon as a practical kitchen estimate.
For leavening, small differences can affect rise and texture. If a recipe gives grams, weighing is best; if it gives teaspoons, fill the measuring spoon and scrape it flat.
