How to measure sorghum flour
The chart entry is “Sorghum flour, 1 cup = 4 7/8 oz = 138 g”. Whole grain cornmeal carries the same figure on the chart, and teff flour is close at 135 grams, so these gluten-free flours convert almost alike. Sorghum flour is heavier than most wheat flours here, where all-purpose is 120 grams and whole wheat 113 grams, but lighter than white rice flour at 142 grams. Spoon the flour in and level the cup. For half a cup count 69 grams, for a quarter cup about 35 grams and for a tablespoon about 8.6 grams.
Sources: 138 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Sorghum flour, 1 cup = 4 7/8 oz = 138 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
