Trying to make your way through a recipe but stumped when you get to conversions? We know the feeling. Conversions are complicated, especially when you’re using an American recipe and have to play around with ounces and grams.
To make life easier, we’ve created a flour conversion guide – ounces, grams, cups, tablespoons and teaspoons included.
Our conversions below are calculated using plain flour and self-raising flour, but they can be used as a general guide for all types: rice flour, coconut flour, gluten-free flour, all-purpose flour, oat flour etc.
How many grams in a cup of flour?
2 cups of flour in grams = 300g
1 cup flour in grams = 150g
½ (half) a cup of flour in grams = 75g
¼ (quarter) of a cup of flour in grams = 40g
⅛ of a cup of flour in grams = 19g
How many grams of flour in an ounce?
1 ounce (oz) of flour in grams = 25g
1 pound (lb) of flour in grams = 450g
1 teaspoon (tsp) of flour in grams =
3.3g
1 tablespoon (tbsp) of flour in grams = 15g
Cooking with an American recipe?
Wait! The cup sizes are different! The standard Australian cup size is 250ml, but the standard American cup size is slightly smaller at 240ml. All you need to do, is if you’re cooking with an American recipe, use slightly less (10ml) of the ingredient to get your proportions right. It’s a tiny amount, but it could make all the difference.
