Actually, the weight of the flour in your cup depends on how you measure
it. The dip and sweep method generally yields a 5 oz. cup, but if you
fluff up the flour and then spoon it lightly into the cup without
packing and then sweep the excess off the top with a knife, this cup of
flour will weigh closer to 4 oz. Hope this helps.
