Vickys Conversions for Gluten Free Flours, Cups to Grams

A lot of gluten-free baking fails because the flours are measured incorrectly. Scales are always best but if you only have cups to hand this is how to measure the flour. Scoop it out of the container with a spoon and place into the cup and level off the top. Don't scoop the cup into the container to fill it, don't pack it and don't bang the cup on the work surface to even it out. A loose measurement will be nearer the right weight but please invest in a set of scales! It'll make a huge difference in any baking, gluten-free or otherwise!
