King Arthur Baking’s recipes count 1 cup of all-purpose flour as 120 grams (4 1/4 oz), but a packed cup can hold up to 160 grams, a third more flour than the recipe means. That’s why bakers weigh, and why a digital scale comes first here; the rest is sorted by what they bake: bread, cakes, cookies and pies.
