I posted this on April 2nd:
"I've just made a couple of kg of bread dough from a newly opened bag of
flour.
I used a 250ml measuring cup as a handy scoop to put the flour into a
bowl on the scale and was astounded when it weighed 175g. A lot of US
recipes use a 4oz/114g equivalence but as many devotees of weighing will
attest, it all depends on how you fill the cup.
That 175g measure equates to 168g for a 236ml US cup.
I then used a whisk to stir up the flour in the bag and spooned the
flour to fill the cup. That weighed 134g (126g US).
No wonder my elderly neighbour complained that she couldn't make decent
pastry as she used volume measure."

Amendola & Rees, "The baker's manual" devotes several pages to
conversions of volume to weight (unfortunately ounces rather than grams)
including how the cup should be filled. Different flours have different
densities so a cup of AP does not weigh the same as a cup of bread flour.
