if you have a tablespoon 1 level tablespoon flour = 15g flour
1 heaped tablespoon flour = 28g flour, which would be about 8 heaped for your recipe.

[Calibax]

225g of flour is about 530ml

[dannyk13]

1 gram = approximately 1ml so 225g would equal 225 ml so you could use your measuring jug.

[Calibax]

1g of Water is 1ml but 1g of flour is about 2.4ml

The answers from danny and Calibax differ by roughly a factor of 2.

Danny assumes the density of flour is the same as that of water; a bit high ,I think, so I would go with Calibax.

I'd put 9 heaped table spoons. About right

[bhg481]

If it's a 500g bag of flour you could use about half of it.

The safest way is to buy some scones.
