I defaulted to Shirley Corriher's Bakewise and the most common one she uses is 4.4 ounces. I err on the side of using a little less flour than risking using too much. Enjoy the brownies and thanks!Pastry Chef Bakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05499370153487228890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760980569631717342.post-25195459395271054532011-08-01T19:54:03.041-07:002011-08-01T19:54:03.041-07:00Hi, and thank you so much for your kind reply!

Never pack it down into the cup or you'll end up with too much flour. Normally a cup of all-purpose flour is about 4.4 ounces.Pastry Chef Bakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05499370153487228890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760980569631717342.post-34477849123398070142011-08-01T16:31:59.124-07:002011-08-01T16:31:59.124-07:00Great recipe!

Thank you for posting it, and for your assembly tip.<br />I would really like to make it, and was wondering if you might be able to say how the author measures a cup of all-purpose flour, or how much it should weigh?<br />Thank you!nattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390817690121543523noreply@blogger.com
