Where the figure comes from
The weight on this page is from the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart, which lists self-rising flour as 1 cup = 113 g. Scaled to one US cup of 236.59 ml, that is 113 g. Every other number on the page is that figure multiplied or divided.
grams = cups x 113
cups = grams / 113
For example, 1 1/2 cups of self-rising flour is 1.5 x 113 = 170 g, and 300 g is 300 / 113 = 2.65 cups.
