  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.
  • Flour settles, so a cup's weight depends on how it is filled. This page uses 140 g for a metric cup spooned and levelled. Sifted it can drop to about 125 g; scooped and packed it can reach 160 g. Weigh for the most reliable result.

It has a moderate protein content, making it versatile enough for pastries, breads, sauces, and coatings. In the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, it’s called plain flour, while in the US and Canada, it’s known as all-purpose flour.
