Measurements

Often I am asked how many grams in a cup of flour or how many ounces in a cup of sugar. Sometimes I will provide all that information if I have it, otherwise I will just post the measurements that I have. My readers in Europe prefer the measurements in grams and my readers in the US and Canada prefer the measurements in cups or ounces.

To make everyone happy, I’m going to provide some conversions here for some basic ingredients.

What From To
Butter 1 stick of butter 113 grams or 4 ounces
Butter 1 tablespoon of butter 14 grams or 1/2 ounce
Butter 1 pound of butter 454 grams or 16 ounces
Flour 1 cup all purpose flour 125 grams or 4.41 ounces
Flour 100 grams of flour 3.53 ounces or 0.8 cups
Sugar 1 cup of sugar 225 grams or 7.94 ounces
Sugar 100 grams of sugar 3.53 ounces or 0.4 cups
Semolina 1 cup of semolina 176 grams or 6.2 ounces
Semolina 100 grams of semolina 3.53 ounces or 0.6 cups
Rice (long grain rice) 1 cup of rice 200 grams or 7.05 ounces
Rice (short grain rice) 1 cup of rice 210 grams or 7.4 ounces
Honey 1 tablespoon of honey 21.25 grams or 0.75 ounces
Honey 1 cup of honey 340 grams or 12 ounces
Rolled Oats 1 cup of rolled oats 90 grams or 3.17 ounces
Rolled Oats 100 grams of rolled oats 1.11 cups or 3.53 ounces

    I am bit confused on the measurements page. I always use gold medal flour and like to measure flour in my recipes to have consistency. However the flour measurements for flour is 120g per cup. You state you prefer 125g per cup, which is best ?

      You can start with 120g per cup and add a little more if you feel it’s necessary!

      I use US cups which is around 236 ml to a cup, but the difference is so small it shouldn’t matter in most recipes.

    I can not for the life of me figure out the 150 grams of sugar. What does it equal to in regular measuring cups??

    Thank you

      It’s about .6 of a cup which is just a bit over half a cup. Hope this helps.
