Grams of All-Purpose Flour to Cups

Spoon the flour into the cup and level it off, since scooping directly from the bag packs in 20 to 30 extra grams.

How to Measure All-Purpose Flour Accurately

To measure all-purpose flour accurately, use the spoon-and-level method: loosen it, spoon it into a dry measuring cup, and level the top. Scooping the cup straight into the bag packs all-purpose flour down and adds weight.

  1. 1

    Loosen the powder

    Stir or whisk the all-purpose flour in its container to break up clumps and settled layers.

  2. 2

    Spoon it into a dry measuring cup

    Spoon it in lightly until the cup overflows. Do not tap, shake, or press the cup.

  3. 3

    Level the top

    Sweep a straight edge, such as the back of a knife, across the rim to remove the excess.

  4. 4

    Weigh it for an exact amount

    Set a bowl on a kitchen scale, press tare, and add all-purpose flour until the scale shows the gram amount in the recipe.
