But for those who care, 250 g is near enough 8 oz, 500 g is near enough a pound, and Europe's "large" eggs are North America's "extra large" or "very large" eggs. (The last is a subtlety I almost missed, but Wikipedia rescued me.) However, North Americans normally measure powdered solids by volume rather than mass: 500 g of flour is about 4 cups. How many waffles do you get out of this, and of what size? The quantity of flour is about twice that of the recipe on the box, which claims to make 24 10-cm (4-inch) waffles. I myself prefer the softer shallow-well "traditional" waffles to the crisper deep-well "Belgian" variety.
