Almond Flour: How Many Grams in a Cup?
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.
