Questions
How many cups is 100 grams?
It depends on the ingredient. 100 g of all-purpose flour is about 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp, 100 g of granulated sugar is 1/2 cup, and 100 g of butter is 7 tablespoons.
How do I measure grams without a scale?
Convert the grams to cups and spoons with the chart below, then spoon the ingredient into the cup and level it with a knife. A scale is more accurate, especially for flour.
Are these US or metric cups?
US cups of 236.6 ml. A metric cup (250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand and Canada) holds about 6% more, so you need slightly less than the number of cups shown.
