Can't you judge 45% of a bag of flour by eye? I know that's all I'd do.

Well, maybe I'm a bit pedantic.


Although I just went and checked my recipes, and the very first one
had "2 cups of flour". Who needs scales (although I do have a set of
measuring spoons/cups).

Is that an American cookbook? I thought most British and Continental
cookbooks specified dry ingredients by weight.

If they're US cookbooks then you'll have to convert all the pint
measures to 0.8pint measures.
