Important Considerations for Flour:
The weight of 1 Metric Cup (250ml) of all-purpose flour can vary. A common standard is **around 125-130 grams per metric cup** (approx. 4.4-4.6 ounces) when using the "spoon and level" method.
This is slightly more than a US cup (237ml) of flour, which typically weighs 120-128g.
For utmost baking accuracy, **using a kitchen scale to measure flour by weight (grams or ounces) is highly recommended.**
"Plain flour" is the common term in the UK and Australia for all-purpose flour.
