Picture of Flour In Measuring Cup - Tipnut.comToday’s feature is from Cafe Fernando with How to Measure Flour, yes there is a technique to this for best results in baking:

When I developed an interest in baking, one of the many things that confused me was how to measure flour. Instead of weighing the flour, most cookbooks I bought were instructing to measure it with a “cup”. I recall asking myself the inevitable question: Which cup? Was there really an internationally accepted standard for a cup? Turns out there is…

Then I learned that even the way you fill your cup with flour makes a big difference. It is usually the thin line between a cakey and moist brownie. I was frustrated.

I’m a dip & sweep baker myself, but didn’t realize that you should first whisk or stir the flour a bit before measuring since flour settles. Interesting tip, visit the site for all the details :).
