Can someone comment on this? Because King Arthur recipes have been confusing me about this. I always thought water's molecular density was a convenient 1g/mL, so I always measure 240 grams (easier than 236) of water for one cup. But since using King Arthur recipes I've been confused about the 227 value always used.
I've seen many places make the 8 ounces (mass) vs 8 (fluid) ounces mistake, but that seems silly for a company like this
