Measuring raisins by cup and by weight
Loose raisins weigh about 149 g per cup. Packed raisins can reach 165 g. For cookies and scones, plumping the raisins in hot water for 10 minutes and draining them keeps them from drawing moisture out of the dough. Golden raisins (sultanas) weigh about the same; currants are smaller and pack closer together.
