Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 250 grams of flour?
About 2.08 US cups, or 2 cups + 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon, for all-purpose flour at 120g per 240 ml US cup.
Is 250 grams of flour the same as 2 cups?
Not quite. 2 US cups of all-purpose flour weigh 240g, so 250 grams is a little more: 2 cups + 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon.
Should I scoop or spoon flour into the cup?
Spoon it in and level it off with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs the flour down, so the cup ends up noticeably heavier than the 120g this page works from.
Does this conversion work for cake flour or bread flour?
Convert those on their own pages. Each flour on this site has its own adopted weight per cup and its own sources, and this page uses all-purpose flour's 120g. Flours can differ a lot: almond flour is lighter, so 250 grams of it fills about 2.60 US cups.
Can I use metric cups instead of US cups?
Yes. A metric cup holds 250 ml, about 125g of this flour, so 250 grams is 2 metric cups. In a 236.6 ml US customary cup it is 2.11 cups.
