How Much Is 47.6 Grams of Buttermilk in Pints?
47.6 grams of buttermilk equals 0.10 pt. Buttermilk has a density of 245g per cup. Because grams measure weight and pints measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 47.6 grams of buttermilk
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 47.6g ÷ 245g/cup = 0.19 cups × 0.5 = 0.10 pints
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
What is a Pint?
US and UK pints are very different sizes. A US pint is 473 ml while a UK (imperial) pint is 568 ml, making the UK pint about 20% larger. A "pint of milk" in a British recipe is significantly more than in an American recipe.
