how much does 1 cup of flour weigh
Allrecipes says one cup of flour is 128 grams. Joy of Baking weighs in, calling one cup of flour 130 grams. Why is there a discrepancy, what number should you be using, and does it matter at all? I weighed 192 cups of flour to figure out how much a cup of flour weighs! I decided to look at three different factors that could cause weight variation: the method of getting the flour into the measuring cup, the brand of flour, and the type of measuring cup. This is a long post, so grab a drink and get ready.
