+1 for kitchen scale. It should be gram accurate at least. Half/Tenth of a gram precision if you're making weird micro-batches. When I was experimenting with cupcake recipe creation, I basically made one cup cake at a time iterating and adjusting ratios until it came out how I wanted it. Only really possible with the scale.
