Good to know

Recipes differ in what a “cup” is: the US customary cup is 236.6 mL, the US legal (nutrition label) cup is 240 mL, and the metric cup used in Australia, New Zealand and Canada is 250 mL. For flour and sugar, weighing is more accurate than measuring by volume — a cup of flour weighs roughly 120–130 g depending on how it is packed.
