    When you measure your flour, do not scoop it out directly as that can lead to using more flour than is needed.

    To correctly measure your flour, give the flour a stir with a fork or a whisk to loosen it.

    Spoon the flour into cup until it is heaping, then level with the flat side of a knife.
