Measuring coconut flour by cup and by weight
Coconut flour is 128 g per cup, but it behaves nothing like its weight suggests: it is extremely absorbent, so recipes use far less of it than wheat flour and add lots of eggs and liquid. A tablespoon too much turns a batter into a dry brick. Measure it by weight whenever the recipe allows it, and stir it well first because it clumps in the bag.
