What is a cup? What is a cup for liquid? What is a cup for flour?
Ffs.
Cups are ~235ml regardless of wet or dry. They are one of the sane-er measurements
You may be confusing your frustration with the ounce, which may refer to:
In metric, dry ingredients are measured by weight, so how much a cup is changes for each ingredient.
Never really reflected on it, but plenty of swedish recipes measure things like flour in deciliters (sometimes with gram equivalents with things like bread). Don't know if it's us being silly, or if it's common elsewhere...
