How to measure 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
By weight (most accurate): set your bowl on a kitchen scale, press tare, and add 180 g of all-purpose flour.
By volume: Use a 1-cup measure plus a 1/2-cup measure.
Flour weight depends heavily on how you fill the cup. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20–30 g per cup, so spoon it in and level it off, or better yet, weigh it.
