U.S. Dry Measure to Mass Equivalencies

You may have noticed that when a Serious Eats recipe calls for
flour, the amount called for is almost always given in both cups
 (a measure of volume) and ounces (a measure of weight). Our
standard conversion is 1 cup of flour = 5 ounces, or 148 grams.
This equivalency approximates what the average cook will get
using the dip and sweep method.
