1/2 Cup of Flour in Grams
1/2 cup of all-purpose flour weighs 60 grams (about 2.1 oz), based on 120 g per US cup (spoon-and-level method). That's the same as 8 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. When a recipe's outcome depends on accuracy — especially baking — weigh it instead of measuring by cup.

How to measure 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
Spoon flour into the cup with a spoon, then level the top with a straight edge — never scoop the cup into the bag. Scooping compresses flour and can pack in 20–30% more (140 g+ instead of 120 g), which is the single most common reason baked goods turn out dry. Sifted flour runs lighter still, about 110 g per cup.
