Frequently Asked Questions
How many tablespoons in a cup?
16 US tablespoons in 1 US cup. 1 tbsp = 3 tsp = 14.79 ml. Australian tablespoons are 20 ml (4 tsp), which is a frequent recipe trap.
How do I convert grams to cups for flour?
You cannot do it generically - it depends on the ingredient. All-purpose flour averages 125 g/cup, sugar 200 g/cup, butter 227 g/cup. Always use ingredient-specific conversions.
Why do US recipes use volume and EU recipes use weight?
Historically, the US standardized on cups via cookbooks like Fannie Farmer's in 1896. Europe kept using kitchen scales, which give more reliable results for baking.
How accurate is "1 stick of butter"?
In the US, 1 stick = 1/2 cup = 113 g = 4 oz. Wrappers usually mark tablespoons. In countries that sell butter in 250 g blocks, this convention does not apply.
