How To Measure Flour With Measuring Cups
The scoop and level technique is the best way to measure flour with measuring cups.
- Fluff the flour up by stirring it with a spoon.
- With your spoon, scoop the flour into your measuring cup.
- Then, use the straight edge of a butter knife to level off the top.
This should give you the most accurate flour measurement without using a kitchen scale.
Benefits of Using A Kitchen Scale
As a home baker myself, I know how exhausting it is to have to clean a dirty kitchen! So, if I can find a way to use less measuring cups and bowls, you know I’m going to do just that by using a kitchen scale.
Using a kitchen scale has lots of benefits:
- Less clean up! No need to wash multiple measuring cups.
- Most accurate way of measuring.
- More consistent results
- Measure all the ingredients in one bowl. Again, less cleanup.
I am lazy. I prefer to work smarter and not harder. Skip the measuring cups and use a kitchen scale instead.
Ingredient Brands Used in Sourdough Baking Recipes
Different brands may yield different results. Here are the products I use in my kitchen.
