I don’t see my first post showing, so I’ll post again. Sorry if any of this appears twice. You replied on here that KAF brand all-purpose flour is one of the heaviest all-purpose flours. Really? Based on my (though limited) research, it seems to be one of the lightest. I've consulted with several flour companies and websites and obtained the following results, in grams per cup: King Arthur website: 120 King Arthur bag: 120 General Mills Contact Us email: 130 Gold Medal bag: 120 Betty Crocker Contact Us email: 130 Pillsbury Contact Us email: 124 USDA website: 125 IF this is true. IF King Arthur Flour all-purpose is LIGHTER than other flours, then shouldn’t you use slightly LESS of another brand's flour when following a KAF recipe? But are these numbers even true? Is KAF all purpose flour the heaviest? This all begs the question: What are the real numbers, in grams per cup? Depending on how it’s measured –scooped and leveled, spooned and leveled, not leveled at all, packed or loose- and depending on the brand –Gold Medal vs King Arthur vs White Lily vs some other brand- you can get wildly different results. However, nearly every recipe published in the USA has flour by the cup rather than by grams. It seems like the latter would be far more consistent. If only measurement by weight was the standard in this country. No one can agree on what a cup is or how to measure a cup, but a gram is a gram is a gram. Please, your help is welcomed. Thanks!
