Why do some charts say 1.6 cups?
The difference is the assumed weight of the flour in one cup. At 120g per cup, 200g is 1.67 cups. At 125g per cup, it is 1.6 cups. This page uses 120g per US cup, matching King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart. Flour brand and measuring technique can still shift the amount, so use a scale when precision matters.
Measuring 200g of all-purpose flour without a scale
No scale? 200 g of all-purpose flour is about 1⅔ cups (1.67 cups), or roughly 1 cup + 11 tablespoons using standard US measuring cups and spoons. Spoon it in and level off the top instead of scooping, which packs in extra.
At about 1.67 US cups, 200 g of all-purpose flour is a true mid-size baking quantity. It is enough for a standard pound cake, a tray of around eighteen to twenty chocolate chip cookies, or a batch of soft dinner rolls. The 1 and 2/3 cup figure is awkward to scoop accurately, which is where a scale earns its keep. Think of 200 g as the sweet spot between a single-layer cake and a small loaf of bread.
