The weight of a cup of flour is usually somewhere between 120g and 145g, going by the conversions used by major baking recipe publishers like King Arthur, Cooks Illustrated, Washington Post, New York Times, etc.

Mass, not weight! Only because we’re being technical already.

Grams are a measure of mass or weight. I assume we’re talking about measuring this flour here on planet earth, within the effects of its gravitational field lol

At what elevation and where in Earth? 🤔 Again, only being this technical because that’s the tone. Not being pedantic.

The variance involved in converting cups of flour to grams is much greater than any gravitational variances caused by elevation or location. So that’s sort of irrelevant here.

I fear their apartment is at -50°C and this is a cry for help.
At least I am relieved to know that even acclaimed authors native to the cup-measurement system don’t know what “a cup of flour is”.
I’ll be off baking my pannenkoek with 150g of flour then.
