A cup of flour really isn't a cup of flour. A cup of packed brown sugar is. As in the case of flour the measurement of a cup is handy for recipies, if you pack it in you will have too much! Same applies to sifted flour it is more airy therefore a cup of sifted flour is really less then a cup of flour.
1. Use a measuring cup not a measuring jug. 2. Use a tea spoon/ tablespoon
Yes, but you should measure solids before measuring liquids. If you, for example, measure water before measuring flour, the flour will stick to the measuring cup.
When measuring dry ingredients like flour or sugar, use a dry measuring cup and level off the excess with a flat edge. For liquid ingredients like milk or oil, use a liquid measuring cup and check the measurement at eye level. It's important to pack brown sugar firmly into the measuring cup to ensure an accurate measurement.
When filling a measuring cup with dry ingredients, don’t scoop directly from the container, as it can pack the ingredient and lead to inaccuracies. Avoid tapping or shaking the cup to level the contents, which can also compress the ingredients. Lastly, never use a spoon to push down the ingredient, as this can create an overly dense measurement. Instead, use a spoon to gently spoon the ingredient into the cup and level it off with a straight edge.
There are approximately 16 tablespoons in 1 cup. Since a tablespoon is a commonly used measuring spoon, this conversion can be helpful when measuring ingredients for cooking or baking. For more precise measurements, it's always good to use a standard measuring cup and spoon set.

Dry measure tends to be SLIGHTLY more than liquid measure, which in most recipes won't change things. But, if the recipe has to be increased to feed more people, then what started out as 1/8th cup can end up being 1/4 or 1/2, depending on the amounts used. You can prove this to yourself by filling both a liquid measuring cup (use a 2 cup measure) with exactly 1 cup of water. Then fill to the brim 1 cup dry measure and carefully pour the dry measure cup into the 2 cup measuring cup, get eye level and you will see the difference.
A dry measuring cup is used to measure dry and solid ingredients.
