How many grams is a cup of flour?

About 120 g for all-purpose flour spooned into the cup and levelled, the figure King Arthur Baking's chart uses. Scooped straight from the bag it packs down and weighs noticeably more, which is why bakers weigh.

Why are the gram weights approximate?

A cup is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient and how it is packed. Each weight here is one stated measure, such as 1 cup of sugar = 198 g, and the answer says where it comes from. Weights vary; a scale is the surest.

How many tablespoons are in a cup?

16, exactly. A US cup is 8 fluid ounces, a tablespoon is half a fluid ounce, and a teaspoon is a third of a tablespoon.

What size is a stick of butter?

A US stick is 1/2 cup, 8 tablespoons, a quarter pound: about 113 g.

What gas mark is 180 °C?
