How many grams of flour in 1 breakfast cup?

Answer 1

In modern baking, a cup is always 8 ounces. In very old cookbooks and recipes handed down in families, the original cook might not have had a standard measuring cup and used whatever was at hand. You would need to know what sort of "breakfast cup" that particular cook used, whether a tea cup, coffee mug, juice glass, etc. However, you could adapt that recipe by maintaining the proportions of the ingredients, regardless of the actual size of the "cup." For example, if the recipe called for "1 breakfast cup of sugar, 1/2 breakfast cup of lard and 2 breakfast cups of flour," you could maintain those proportions and achieve a similar result by using 1 eight-ounce cup of sugar, 1/2 of an eight-ounce cup of lard, and 2 eight-ounce cups of flour.

Answer 2

1 breakfast cup flour = approx 165g.
