240 Grams of Flour to Cups
240 grams of all-purpose flour equals 2 cups, based on 120 g per cup (spoon-and-level method). In the kitchen, measure 2 cups. For best results, weigh all-purpose flour with a scale — cup measurements vary with how the cup is filled.
This is a typical single-recipe amount, where how you fill the cup matters most: scooped all-purpose flour can pack 20–30% heavier than spooned.

Seeing a different answer elsewhere? Sources disagree on flour: King Arthur's spoon-and-level standard is 120 g per cup (our number, giving 2 cups), while USDA-based tables use 125 g (giving 1 ⅞ cups, 1.92 cups). Both are correct for their measuring method — see how we measure.
How to measure 240 g of all-purpose flour without a scale
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.
