Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 245g/cup ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 0.12 cups of buttermilk
  2. 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
  3. 0.12 × 245 = 29.4g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 29.4 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.04 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

What is an Ounce?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 1.04 oz, based on buttermilk having a density of 245g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 245 (grams per cup for buttermilk), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 0.12 cups: 0.12 × 245 = 29.4g, then 29.4 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.04 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh buttermilk on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of buttermilk changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 1.04 oz × 28.3495 = 29.4g, then 29.4g ÷ 245 = 0.12 cups. Or use the Ounces to Cups converter.
