Baking Ingredient Conversions - 1 Cup, 1/2 Cup, 1/3 Cup to Grams, Ounces (2024)

Use this page as a reference for converting between US cups, grams, ounces, pounds, tablespoons and teaspoons. Measuring ingredients by weight (grams or ounces) rather than volume (cups or tablespoons) will often provide more accurate measurements.

Flour (cups, grams, ounces, tablespoons)

The following are approximations for flour. Cup measurements assume that your flour is spooned into the cup. If you use the 'dip and sweep' method, considerincreasing your gram, ounce or pound figure by 15-20%. If you sieve before measuring, reduce the figure by around 5%. Spoon approximations are based on a flat spoon, not heaped. You may wish to know that we havean article dedicated to how many cups of flour there are in a pound.
