There are a lot of comments on this blog with concerns over the measurements in this recipe. When an ounce can refer to volume (fluid ounce) or weigh on a scale, it is easy to get confused. A 1 cup measuring cup contains 8 fluid ounces by volume. The ounce measurements in this recipe refer to weight. While a cup or flour and a cup of water each contain 8 fluid ounces, the cup of flour weighs 4 ounces, and the cup of water weighs 8 ounces. How right you are. We spend a lot of time trying to explain the difference between weight and volume. A cup of feathers won't weigh the same as a cup of rocks, right? Susan
