I'm having trouble coming up with a GOOD weight for a simple CUP OF FLOUR.......
I see different values online and without sifting (a lost art?) my weight is heavy......
I have a decent scale....and when I bake some cookies....I'll measure each one to 27+-1 gram.....
For consistency....
Too much is never enough
Follow Ups:
King Arthur Flour has an excellent and extensive guide on their website to the weights of different ingredients that they sell and use in their recipes. I don't use KAF products exclusively but the their flours are consistent in performance and high quality.
Good reference and I'll copy those items I need.
Straight print is 11 pages!
Difference between the flour callouts is only a few grams......certainly within my ability to measure.
I need to get a calibration weight for my scale. <4%
I DO know that nickels are supposed to be 5 grams each.....so 20 of 'em should be a good way to calibrate for that range.
Also? BUTTER. I have found it IS important to obey. In the past I just used whatever butter I had but I'm Now buying UNSALTED. As it turns out? The amount of salt in butter is variable and quite depends on the dairy / formula. Add salt as a seperate item.....and don't try to guess how much is in the salted butter you buy!
