Flour — Pounds in Cups
1 pound of flour equals 3.6 ( ~ 3 2/3) cups*
About flour measurements
Scoop flour straight from the bag and you compress it, which is why weight beats volume here. Using a reference density of about 0.53 g/ml, a US cup is roughly 125 g — but the dip-and-sweep method can pack in 20% more than spoon-and-level, a gap wide enough to dry out a cake.
