How to Measure Semolina Correctly

Semolina should be measured by spooning it into the measuring cup and levelling it off. Never pack it down. For precision, use a kitchen scale. Semolina has a coarse texture, so it measures differently than fine flours. For best results, use a digital kitchen scale for precision baking.

Understanding Semolina Measurements
