I’m tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.

    Density differs for other ingredients though.

      It does, but I would still rather use grams usually. My ice cream base recipe says 500g skim milk and 470g heavy cream. I don’t have to get a measuring cup dirty—I just pour them into the bowl.

        Wait, why on earth would you use skim milk in ice cream when you’re adding in basically equal parts cream anyway?

          The only thing that really matters is the average milk fat %. I like Costco’s 40% heavy cream from a price and quality standpoint. My family drinks skim milk. If I mix those two equally I will end up with about 20% fat which makes a very nice ice cream.

            Yeah I guess if you already have skim milk around the house then that makes sense.
