Dry Measures
For accuracy always use dry measuring cups, and not liquid measuring cups, especially when you bake. Since a cup of flour weighs less than a cup of sugar, to give you an approximate guideline for the dry weights we’ve used some basic staples so that your recipes come out as well for you as they do for us.
| Basic Dry Goods Measures | Cups | Ounces | Grams |
|---|---|---|---|
| All purpose flour | 1 | 4.25 | 120g |
| Chickpea Flour | 1 | 3.25 | 92g |
| Granulated sugar | 1 | 7 | 200g |
| Confectioners/icing sugar | 1 | 4.5 | 125g |
| Rice uncooked | 1 | 7 | 200g |
| Butter | 1 | 8 | 225g |
| Dried Beans | 1 | 8 | 225g |
