Frequently Asked Questions
Why is weighing better than cups?▼
Volume measurements (cups) are notoriously inaccurate. Depending on how you scoop, a cup of flour can vary by 30%. Weighing in grams ensures your recipe works every time, exactly as the author intended.
What is the "Dip and Sweep" method?▼
If you must use cups, fluff your flour with a spoon, dip the cup into the container, and sweep the excess off with a flat knife. Do not scoop directly or pack it down, as this traps extra flour.
Are fluid ounces the same as ounces?▼
No! Fluid ounces (fl oz) measure volume (like cups), while ounces (oz) measure weight (like grams). Water is the only ingredient where they are roughly equal.
How many grams is a cup of flour?▼
A standard cup of All-Purpose Flour weighs approximately 120 grams. However, this can vary by brand and scooping method, which is why we recommend using this converter and a scale.
