Hi Laura, we apologize for any confusion and we'd love to help. The first point of clarity is that not all brands of flour use the same weighing conventions as King Arthur Flour. 1 cup of King Arthur Flour weighs 120 grams according to our Ingredient Weight Chart, but this can vary between kinds of flour as well as brands. If your recipe calls for 2 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, that would be 330 grams if it's a King Arthur Flour recipe. The recipe source you're using may weight their flour differently, by packing it into the cup rather than measuring it lightly (like this), accounting for the heavier cup. If the recipe offers weight instead of volume, you'll be better off using that quantity instead of volume. We know this can be a tricky concept to wrap your head around, so if you'd like to chat with one of our friendly bakers, please feel free to give us a call at 855-371-BAKE(2253). Kye@KAF
