I'm not quite sure I understand what you're trying to say. Did you mean to
say "..."weighing" flour when it calls for a *volume* measurement" or did
you really mean "weight measurement"? If you meant what you originally
wrote, then it really doesn't make sense. If your recipe calls for a weight
measurement then of course weighing would provide an accurate measurement
and there shouldn't be any problems. But if you meant, say, that you need 4
cups of flour so you just use a pound of flour instead of using the 4 cups,
then I can sort of see where you might have a problem. However, I really
doubt there would be that much of a difference between the 4 cups and one
pound to create a problem with the recipe.
