@teonzo I agree with you that metric is better but imperial measurements is what the recipe is in. The recipe calls for 3 1/2 cups of flour which as per the King Arthur Baking site is 420 grams. They list flour as weighing 120 grams per cup. Using a 50:1 ratio, that means using just over 8 grams of baking powder. King Arthur says 1 teaspoon of baking powder equals 4 grams so I would use just over 2 teaspoons. Is that correct? The recipe, calling for 1/4 cup means it is calling for 12 teaspoons, 6 times as much. Googling around, I see most scone recipes call for 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Thank you for your help.
