Almond Flour
Almond flour is a luxury ingredient demanding absolute precision, especially in macarons. Being oil-rich, it tends to clump and pack down. A 'packed' cup can weigh 120g, while a 'sifted' cup only 90g. This 30% variance is the leading cause of failed macarons and greasy cakes. The scale is non-negotiable here.

Scale:by weight
How to measure flours
Flours swing wildly in weight by volume (a cup can jump from 120g to 150g). Protein and gluten strength also change from brand to brand. Weighing is the only way to keep hydration and texture consistent for bread, pizza, cakes, and pasta.
- Spoon and level for loose; packed cups weigh more—use the packed toggle when available.
- For bread and pizza doughs, aim for consistency: measure by weight when possible.
FAQ
- Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal: Are they the same?
- No. Almond Flour is made from blanched (skinned) almonds and is fine and white. Almond Meal includes the skins and is coarser/darker. Flour is structurally better for delicate cakes; Meal is fine for rustic breads.
