Same cup, different weight
Match the recipe’s wording: a packed, sifted or cooked cup weighs a different amount.
| Ingredient | Grams per cup | 100 g in cups |
|---|---|---|
| Water | 237 | 0.42 |
| Whole milk | 244 | 0.41 |
Measuring water by the cup
Use drinking water. Milk, oil and honey have their own cup weights.
Level dry ingredients with a flat edge instead of leaving a heap, and read liquids on a flat surface at eye level. When a recipe gives grams, a kitchen scale is the surest way to match it.
