Questions
How many grams is 1 tablespoon of butter?
1 tablespoon of butter is about 14.1747615625 grams.
Why does a cup of flour weigh less than a cup of sugar?
Flour is light and airy, sugar is dense, so the same cup holds a different weight. That is why Figure asks which ingredient you are measuring.
How are the cups measured?
Spooned into the cup and levelled, not packed, except brown sugar, which is packed. Weighing on scales is always more exact.
