Can you tell me how you measure flour for your baking recipes? There are different methods that result in more or less flour (by weight) in a cup. It would help if I knew which method you use, so my results would come out the same as yours.
Thanks for your help.
Chris Scheuer says
Hi Ellen, I measure with the scoop and level method. Thanks for asking.
