The number of cups in a pound of flour can vary slightly depending on the type of flour and how it’s measured, but generally, for all-purpose flour:
- 1 pound of all-purpose flour is roughly equal to 3 1/3 cups.
If you’re using a kitchen scale, that’s always the most accurate way to measure flour. However, if you’re using cups, the conversion is an approximation and can vary based on how densely the flour is packed. To avoid over-measuring, it’s a good idea to lightly spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off.
