How many cups in a pound of flour

The number of cups in a pound of flour depends on the density of the flour and how it is measured. In general, one pound of all-purpose flour is equivalent to approximately 3.5 to 4 cups of flour when using the "scoop and level" method of measuring.

Here's a formula you can use to calculate the approximate number of cups of all-purpose flour in a pound:

Cups of flour = Pounds of flour x (3.5 to 4 cups per pound)

And here's a formula you can use if you prefer to use the "spoon and level" method of measuring:

Cups of flour = Pounds of flour x (3 to 3.5 cups per pound)

Pounds of Flour	Cups of Flour (Scoop & Level)	Cups of Flour (Spoon & Level)
1	3.5 to 4	3 to 3.5
2	7 to 8	6 to 7
3	10.5 to 12	9 to 10.5
