Measurement & Technique Guide for All-Purpose Flour

The standard wheat flour used in most home baking and cooking recipes. Scooping directly compresses the flour, packing up to 150g per cup.

Chef's Culinary Tip:

Always fluff your flour with a fork, spoon it gently into your measuring cup, and sweep a flat edge across the rim.
