When a recipe calls for all-purpose flour, Betty Crocker Original is a reliable option. For most baking, it is best to measure the flour by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off with a straight edge. This prevents compacting the flour, which can lead to denser baked goods. It can be used in recipes that require leavening agents like baking powder or yeast, as it provides the necessary structure for these ingredients to work effectively. It can also be used in recipes without leavening for items like pie crusts or noodles.
