    Carol S mentioned in a reply to another post that she packs her almond flour when measuring and I hadn't heard that anywhere. I think I've read this website from top to bottom, and I don't see that anywhere. I've recently made Elana's Gluten-free sandwich bread 2.0 and didn't pack my flour, and it seemed to come out okay....a little dry for my tastes. I really can't imagine packing the flour and having it be even drier?

    Elana replied to the other post, so I wanted to put it over here in case anyone else wondered about this.

    "I scoop my almond flour which makes it a more packed measurement, though I haven't ever packed it like brown sugar. Using the scoop method that I do, there are approximately 3.8 to 4 ounces of almond flour per cup, roughly 4 cups per pound.

    I don't ever use the fluff method to measure almond flour that most bakers use for regular recipes --this would yield runny results in my recipes.

    Fluffing is when you dip a spoon into your flour jar/bag and lightly place the flour into the cup, this results in a more light measurement as opposed to scooping or packing.
