Frequently Asked Questions

How many grams are in 1 cup of water?

Is 250g of water the same as 250g of all-purpose flour?

No. 250g of water is 1 cup, while 250g of all-purpose flour is 2 cups. Same weight on the scale, different volume in the cup, because the two have different densities.

How do I measure 250g of water without a scale?

Is it better to weigh water or measure it in cups?

Weighing is more accurate, especially in baking, because it removes the variation in how the water is packed into the cup. If you have no scale, use the cup figure above and keep your measuring method consistent across the whole recipe.
