How to measure tapioca starch

Spoon the flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20–30% more.

Also called: tapioca flour.

Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
