In this video, Mahalo Chef Eric Crowley‬ shows you how to properly measure flour.

Step 1: Use the Correct Measuring Cup
---------------------------------------------------------------------

There are two common types of measuring cups, so be sure that you are using the correct one. Pitcher-style measuring cups are usually reserved for measuring liquid, such as water or oil. Use a measuring cup designed for dry ingredients, such as a stainless steel or plastic measuring cup, to measure your flour.  

Step 2: Correctly Fill the Measuring Cup
---------------------------------------------------------------------

To measure your flour, gently scoop the flour out of the bag with a spoon and drop it into the measuring cup. Using the measuring cup to scoop the flour directly can cause the flour to be packed into the measuring cup. This would yield more than a technical cup of flour.

Step 3: Level the Measuring Cup
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Use your spoon to scoop enough flour so that the measuring cup is heaping. Use a straight edge, such as the back of a butter knife, to scrape off the excess flour. The measuring cup should now be filled with the right amount of flour. Continue measuring flour until you have enough for whatever recipe you are making.
