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

    OP is probably from Western Europe, where a kitchen scale is common. Ain’t nobody in the US got a fancy kitchen scale.

    The solution to their problem is use mL for volume.

      Ain’t nobody in the US got a fancy kitchen scale.

      Lots of us have them. (Well, basic scales which weigh a tenth of a gram.) They’re useful when weighing compressible dry ingredients like flour and brown sugar, and viscous wet ingredients like molasses and corn syrup. They’re also helpful when you’re multiplying a recipe by a factor that doesn’t result in useful units; it’s annoying to figure out how to measure out fractional cups that involve teaspoons.

      They also help with portion control if you’re watching calories.
