Corn Syrup (dark)
Dark corn syrup weighs 328g per cup. It contains molasses-type flavoring, giving it a deeper color and richer taste than light corn syrup. Corn syrup prevents sugar crystallization, making it essential for pecan pie, caramels, and candy-making. It does not go bad — store at room temperature. Do not substitute with high-fructose corn syrup, which is a different product. Light and dark corn syrup can be swapped in most recipes with only a flavor difference.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
