Zari is preparing a special sourdough bread from a recipe. The recipe calls for one cup of enriched flour. Which method BEST describes the proper way for Zari to add the flour?

Flour should be measured in a dry measuring cup with a flat top. Fill the cup, then sweep a knife across the top to remove excess and make the measure level. A cup with a spout is intended for liquids, and scooping or packing flour can give an inaccurate amount. Therefore, the best method is using a flat-top cup and leveling it with a knife.
