My point was that ‘120g of sifted flour’ is a declarative statement. It describes a quantity of an ingredient.
‘Sift one cup of flour’ or ‘measure 1 cup of sifted flour’ are procedural statements. They describe a process to acquire a quantity of an ingredient.
And that, in general, the declarative form is better.
- IncRnd 6y agoIn this case, the forms of the statement are identical. "One cup of sifted flour" is semantically identical with "sift one cup of flour." The difference is the method of measurement, whether by volume or by weight. Then, it is important to either understand the rules of recipe specification, especially with baking, or to have the recipe specify as to whether there are implicit steps.
