A note on measurements.
This calculator uses US liquid measures. Imperial measures and US dry measures are different. Fluid ounces describe volume; they don’t tell you how much flour, sugar, or another ingredient weighs.
For baking by weight, use the grams given in the recipe. If you’re converting a recipe from another country, check which size cup it uses.
