Try UK receipe sites - that's the default.

Yeah. It’s especially frustrating when recipes list ingredients like flour by volume.

Depending on how one stores and scoops, there can be a 25% weight difference between what is on the recipe and what is on the bowl :/

Do non-American kitchens typically have scales? Anecdotally, most (nearly all, in my world) American kitchens don't, and other than the odd baking recipe, no American recipes do.

Sure and I definitely do not have anything that can easily measure cups, let alone 3 1/2 of them (you guys sure love fractions). It's always weird to me when I see stuff like flour measured by volume given that it can be more or less compacted.

For liquids it's often given by volume, but then due to the nice property that 1 liter of water weights 1 kilo we can easily measure things like water, milk and basically anything water-y by mass as well. The recipe calls for 25 centiliters of water? I can just measure 250g.

This was going to be my suggestion. Give an easy conversion so I can use weight for the dry ingredients.
