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

    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.
