Measuring 50g of all-purpose flour without a scale

No scale? 50 g of all-purpose flour is about 0.42 cup, or roughly 7 tablespoons using standard US measuring cups and spoons. Spoon it in and level off the top instead of scooping, which packs in extra.

At roughly 0.42 US cups, 50 g of all-purpose flour is a small working amount rather than the backbone of a bake. It is the quantity you reach for to dredge two chicken breasts, dust a work surface, or build a quick roux to thicken a single pan of gravy. Because the volume is so low, weighing matters more here than at larger amounts: one heaped tablespoon too many noticeably changes a thin sauce or crepe batter.
