Measuring all-purpose flour accurately

All-purpose flour is the ingredient most likely to wreck a bake when it's measured by cup, because how you fill the cup changes the weight by 20-30%. Dip the cup straight into the bag and you compact the flour to 150 g or more; spoon it in loosely and level the top with a knife and you land near 125 g. That gap is the difference between a tender crumb and a dry, dense one. The brands don't even agree — King Arthur calls a cup 120 g, America's Test Kitchen 142 g — which is exactly why serious bakers weigh it. If you only own measuring cups, fluff the flour first, spoon it into the cup, and level it off. Never pack it down or tap the cup on the counter.

Spooned and leveled. Scooping straight from the bag can add 20–30 g per cup. Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to get the same result every time is to weigh all-purpose flour on a kitchen scale and aim for the gram figure above. The conversions on this page are based on the US cup of about 236.6 ml.
