1 1/2 Cups of Flour to Grams
1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour weighs about 188 grams, spooned and leveled. With King Arthur Baking's 120 g cup it's 180 g.
Tip: Spoon flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs in up to 30 g extra.
1 ½ US cups of all-purpose flour weighs about 188 g, based on 125 g per spooned and leveled cup (USDA). King Arthur Baking uses 120 g per cup, which gives 180 g. If you scoop flour straight from the bag, 1 ½ cups can weigh 30–45 g more, so spoon and level.

Measuring 1 ½ cups of flour
- Stir the flour to loosen it.
- Spoon it into a 1 cup measure until heaped, and level it with a knife.
- Do the same with a ½ cup measure.
Don’t tap the cup or press the flour down; that’s how a cup ends up heavier than the recipe expects.
