Mustard Powder
Mustard powder weighs 120g per cup. It is ground yellow or brown mustard seeds with a sharp, pungent kick when mixed with liquid. The heat develops after mixing with water and fades with cooking. For prepared mustard, mix powder with vinegar, water, and a pinch of salt. Mustard powder adds a background heat to cheese sauces, salad dressings, and dry rubs without a strong mustard flavor. Store in a sealed container for up to a year.

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.
