03 // WHY IT MATTERS

READ TIME · 2 MIN

If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.

A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.

Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.

The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
