SC - Scaling up recipes?

[David Dendy]

Resident spicer here--

I'll try to work out the weight of a cup of ground cinnamon when I get back
from the Stratford-on-the Fraser Shakespeare Festival where I'm selling this
weekend. It'll take a little arranging, as I don't have any ground cinnamon
on hand at the moment -- I keep it whole and grind only as needed.
