Why the Cup Value Changes

Water weighs about 236g per cup, which is why some converters use it as a default. But flour is airy and light, so 8g of it fills more of a cup than 8g of honey, which is thick and heavy. Density — not volume — decides the weight.

All-Purpose Flour

8g ≈ ⅛ cup

Butter

8g ≈ ⅛ cup
