I’m tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.

    Not really, not like the bowl has holes in it. Just pour it in until you hit the right amount like with everything else.

      Seriously, i don’t know why all these people keep saying they do volume for liquids. Unless you are using a skinny graduated cylinder, liquid measuring cups could easily get you 10% off your target.

      And stuff like honey? No way I’m measuring volume for that.

        I usually just run a table knife along the inside of the measuring cup and it does a good enough job of getting everything out, same as if you were pouring the hiney into a bowl to be weighed.

        It is hard for me to believe the people who are pro-volume have really tried the weight method with a decent scale. I am so with you on things like honey, corn syrup, molasses. Those require both a volumetric measure and a scraping spatula and it is still so much harder than squeezing the bottle until you hit the right number of grams.
