How to measure sourdough starter
Stir the starter, spoon it into the cup and level it; it is sticky, so scrape the cup clean. Weighing is far more reliable, because the bubbles change how much fits.
Why a cup of sourdough starter varies
1 cup of sourdough starter weighs 227 to 241 g, and the converter uses the midpoint, 234 g. A starter's weight per cup depends on its hydration (the ratio of water to flour) and on how many bubbles it holds.
A lively, just-fed starter is lighter per cup than one that has collapsed.
Starter, flour and water
A cup of starter weighs about the same as a cup of water (237 g) and nearly twice a cup of all-purpose flour (125 g).
