Frequently asked questions
Why does a cup of flour weigh different amounts?
It depends on how it's measured — scooped flour is packed and heavier. These figures assume spooning into the cup and levelling off.
Should I bake by weight?
Weighing is more accurate and consistent than cups, especially for flour.
Are UK and Australian cups different?
A metric cup is 250 ml, slightly larger than the US cup (236.6 ml). Adjust if your recipe uses metric cups.
