How to Measure 120 Grams with Spoons & Scales

To measure 120 grams accurately with measuring spoons, always use the level sweep method: fluff the dry ingredient with a fork, dip the measuring spoon into the container, and sweep the back of a flat butter knife across the rim to remove the excess without packing. For ultimate precision in pastry and bread baking—especially for yeast, salt, or leaveners under 10 grams—a calibrated digital pocket scale with 0.1g accuracy is recommended over volumetric spoons.
