Q: How many grams of plain flour in a pint glass?
I think I want to make gingerbread shapes with the little one tomorrow. I have all the ingredients but no scales. I figure I can scale things if I can get a handle on the flour and the only idea I have is a pint glass is fairly common. I'm guessing 250g-300g.
Does anyone know off the top of their head? Or be willing to measure? Or venture a wildly specific set of conjectures leading to an estimate of some sort?

Thanks! Although a pretty shite question to start a thread like this on. Should have thought of the cups measurement!

US (and UK) weights are so fucking stupid.
I never knew a cup was 276ml or whatever half a pint it. There is nothing worse than a recipe that uses ounces as a volume and talks about the stones, ells, chains, farthings and whatever fucking medieval terminology they make up as they go along when we have a simple unambiguous metric system

UK and US have different pint sizes. UK pint is 2.4 cups.

Metric confuses them.
