Ingredient

125 g

Flour (all-purpose) weighs about 125 g per US cup

A US cup is 236.6 ml and a US tablespoon 14.8 ml. Metric cups (UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand) are 250 ml and tablespoons 15 ml, or 20 ml in Australia. The scaler reads cup, tbsp and tsp as US measures. Densities are typical values for spooned, levelled cups, so weigh when it matters.
