Frequently Asked Questions
How many tablespoons are in a cup?
There are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup. Half a cup is 8 tablespoons, and a quarter cup is 4 tablespoons.
How many grams of flour are in a cup?
1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 125 grams (4.4 oz). This can vary by 10-15% depending on how you scoop the flour. For best accuracy, use the 'spoon and level' method.
How many grams of sugar are in a cup?
1 cup of granulated sugar weighs about 200 grams (7.1 oz). Brown sugar (packed) weighs about 220 grams per cup.
How much does a stick of butter weigh?
1 stick of butter = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons = 4 oz = 113 grams. A standard US butter package contains 4 sticks (1 pound / 454 grams).
Why is weighing ingredients more accurate than measuring by volume?
Volume measurements depend on how tightly you pack ingredients. A cup of flour can range from 120-150g depending on technique. Weight is always consistent and professional bakers always weigh their ingredients.
