How much (in grams) do 5 cups of sifted A-P flour weigh? For Amanda's Cherry Almond Danish, I'd like to sift the flour into the bowl on the scale. ;o

Susan W. · Answer

To make it worse, flours vary depending on brand and humidity. They all just want to drive us bonkers.

Monita · Answer

128-130 grams is from a file I keep on conversions - sorry don't remember original source. But I've learned that US flour weighs differently than outside the US

AntoniaJames · Answer

Monita, where did you get the 128 gram per cup ratio?  All of the flour I buy shows in the nutrition panel on the side of the bag that 30 grams = 1/4 cup.  Thank you. ;o)

AntoniaJames · Answer

Thank you so much, Susan W. I'll have to run that conversion table down.  (This is the only food-related site or blog I ever visit, so it's good to know about that resource.)  Cheers!  ;o)

Monita · Answer

Ah, sorry. Yes, agree with Susan W 114 grams

Susan W. · Answer

This is per King A and one other conversion table.

Susan W. · Answer

One cup siftes flour=114 grams. Amazing difference.

AntoniaJames · Answer

Monita, thank you for your prompt reply . . . but the recipe calls for sifted flour. Sifted flour weighs less per cup, doesn't it? ;o)

Monita · Answer

Fo All purpose flour: 1 cup= 128 grams
