I tried this, but the water kept running through my fingers.


Tesco, you could save yourself a lot of trouble and just buy a kitchen scale. A lot of recepies work better if you measure by weight instead of volume anyway. This is especially true with baking. You think comparing a cup of one thing to another is bad, try comparing two cups of flour. They aren't the same because of variances in how tightly they are packed. That's why you should weigh it.
