Also, > how much volume is a cup? Can I use the Henri Delaunay cup too? :-P 8 ounces or half a pint. My glass measuring cup is also marked in ml, with the highest marking being 1/4 liter. The plastic one just says 1 cup on the handle with no mark at all. I've never bothered measuring it. Even with the ambiguity it's better than 250 grams of flour that I see in some recipes. That assumes I have a kitchen scale and have some idea of the volume so I can use a suitable container and find the tare weight. It's roughly 2 cups so if I used the cup measure I'd have to do two weightings, spooning flour into the second one to make the correct total.
