To measure 100 grams of flour without a scale, use a standard measuring cup. First, fluff the flour with a spoon, as it tends to compact. Use a spoon to gently fill the measuring cup until it overflows, then level it off with a straight edge, like a knife. For most flours, 1 cup is approximately 125 grams, so remove 1/5th of the cup for an estimate of 100 grams. This method provides close approximation but using a kitchen scale is the most accurate.**
