This recipe calls for 2 cups flour or 8 1/2 oz. I have always considered 2 cups to equal 10 oz What's the truth? I always use a scale for measuring ingredients, but I like that you used both kins together in this recipe as it's always easier to use the one I am more comfortable with. The truth is, Lloyd, if you measure flour by dipping your cup into the canister and leveling it off, your flour will weigh about 5 ounces per cup. If you stir the flour, then sprinkle it into the measuring cup and level it off, as we do here in the test kitchen (check out our "how to measure flour" video) - your flour will weigh 4 1/4 ounces per cup. Either is fine - you just have to know which method the recipe writer used, if you're not weighing your ingredients.
