I just started using a scale for measuring out flour for my baking. I love it...so fast and easy. I have seen that different brands of flours (KAF AP versus Gold Medal AP for example) have different weights. How do I convert a KAF recipe that gives the weight for using KAF all purpose flour to use the all purpose flour I happen to have in my pantry? (I would like to always have KAF but sometimes I don't and have to use another brand). There are some websites on the internet that give weights per cup of all of the national brands. I don't know if they are accurate or not and it appears that there is a great deal of variation with KAF all purpose being one of the heaviest of the all purpose flours. So far I have just used the weight in the recipe with whatever AP I have, but don't feel comfortable that I am doing the right thing. Help.
