Experts often recommend measuring dry ingredients by weight for accuracy,[1] but some recipes use volume, and not all home cooks own a digital scale. Converting between weight and volume can be tricky because different types of flour vary in density.
The table below can help with the conversion and shows the approximate volume measurement for the weight of various types of flour.
