Why is granulated sugar easier to measure more precisely than flour?


White, granulated sugar is usually poured into fractional measuring cups and leveled with a spatula. Flour is more difficult to measure precisely because its tiny particles vary in shape, size and density. The particles tend to pack, which influences the number of cups obtained from various flours of the same weight.
