How it works
Grams measure weight and cups measure volume, so the conversion depends on how dense the ingredient is. Divide the grams by the weight of one cup of that ingredient: about 125 g for all-purpose flour, 200 g for granulated sugar, 227 g for butter and 237 g for water. Values assume a US cup filled by spooning and levelling.
