Cup: if in continental Europe a cup is generally understood to be a measure of 250 ml.
in Anglo-Saxon countries the cup corresponds to 16 CT and the CT.
in turn, it corresponds to just under 15 ml.
therefore a cup corresponds to 232 ml.!
THEREFORE: be careful when converting doses and quantities from a recipe from these areas!

I will try to clear up any doubt. - An example to decipher certain recipes: a cup (ml. Or cc3 250) of 00 flour (Weissmehl - Typ 405) weighs about 150 grams.
