Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 1 cup of all-purpose flour?
By definition, 1 cup of all-purpose flour is 1 cup — but by weight that's 125g, since 1 US cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams.
Why isn't all-purpose flour the same weight as flour or sugar?
Every ingredient has its own density: how tightly it packs into a measuring cup. Powdery, airy ingredients weigh less per cup than dense liquids or packed sugars, so each ingredient needs its own gram value.
Does this account for sifting or packing?
Spoon the flour into the cup and level it off — scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20-30g extra.
