Instructions: Begin by fluffing your flour. Sprinkle flour into your cup measure until it's overflowing. Using a knife or the back of your scoop, level off the top of the cup measure. A cup of flour measured with this method should weigh 4 1/4 ounces.

Scooping a cup of flour – rather than sprinkling it into the cup – renders a heavier cup, which can greatly affect the way a recipe turns out.
