[Warm Tips] When making Western-style pastries, commonly used cups and tablespoon/teaspoon are standard units of capacity, which are mainly used to measure the volume of ingredients, rather than directly expressing weight. To convert these capacities into grams (g), it needs to be calculated based on the density of the specific ingredient, because the weight of different ingredients varies greatly.

 

Here are the approximate weights of some common ingredients for reference:

 

Cup Weight Conversion

1 cup = about 240 milliliters (mL), but the grams depend on the ingredients:

all-purpose flour: 1 cup ≈ 120-130 g (depending on the degree of compaction)

granulated sugar: 1 cup ≈ 200 g

brown sugar: 1 cup ≈ 220 g (lightly pressed)

butter: 1 cup ≈ 227 g

milk: 1 cup ≈ 240 g

water: 1 cup ≈ 240 g

 

Spoon weight conversion

1 tablespoon (tablespoon, tbsp) = 15 ml

Flour: 1 tablespoon ≈ 8-10 g

White sugar: 1 tablespoon ≈ 12.5 g

Cream: 1 tablespoon ≈ 14 g

Water: 1 tablespoon ≈ 15 g

1 teaspoon (teaspoon, tsp) = 5 ml

Flour: 1 teaspoon ≈ 3-4 g

White sugar: 1 teaspoon ≈ 4 g

Salt: 1 teaspoon ≈ 6 g

vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon ≈ 5 g

 

Notes

Status of ingredients: For example, whether the flour is sifted and whether the sugar is compacted will affect the weight.

Precise measurement: If the recipe calls for precision, it is recommended to use an electronic scale to weigh directly, rather than relying entirely on cups or spoons.

Regional differences: This refers to the standard cup (240 mL) commonly used in the United States, other regions (such as Australia, 1 cup = 250 mL) may vary slightly.
