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 50g of it fills more of a cup than 50g of honey, which is thick and heavy. Density — not volume — decides the weight.
All-Purpose Flour
50g ≈ ⅜ cup
Butter
50g ≈ ¼ cup
