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 270g of it fills more of a cup than 270g of honey, which is thick and heavy. Density — not volume — decides the weight.
All-Purpose Flour
270g ≈ 2⅛ cups
Butter
270g ≈ 1¼ cup
