Spoon and level for accurate flour

Fluff the flour in its bag, spoon it into the measuring cup without pressing, and sweep the top level with the back of a knife. Scooping straight from the bag can add 15–20% more flour, which is the most common cause of dry, dense baking. If your recipe was written in grams, weigh instead — it removes the guesswork. For converting a whole recipe, the recipe scaler adjusts every ingredient at once.
