Best Answer

It depends on the recipe you are following. Both can be measured by weight or by volume. the more accurate measurements are by weight due to the fact that they can be compacted into differing volumes, yet weights cannot be changed by compacting them. So, if you are writing a recipe, you should measure by weight for consistent results. However, if you are following a recipe that uses volume measurement you should try to stick with that. These often are measured after flour is sifted, and sugar is often measured as loosely or hard packed.

Volume measures are teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, ml and liters.

Weight measures are ounces, pounds, grams and kilograms.

You should use a set of kitchen scales to weigh out the number of grams listed in the recipe.
