How to measure water accurately

1 ml of water weighs 1 g, so a US cup (236.6 ml) of water weighs about 237 g.

Use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the line at eye level. Sticky syrups slide out cleanly from a lightly oiled cup.

For the most reliable result, weigh water on a digital kitchen scale: 237 g for every cup the recipe asks for.
