Is this conversion exact?
Kitchen yields are practical averages, not definitions — Measured spooned into the cup and levelled, one US cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 g. Scooping the cup straight through the bag compacts the flour and can add 20-30 g, which is why the same recipe comes out dry in one kitchen and not another.
