How Much Is 270 Grams of Buttermilk in Tablespoons?
270 grams of buttermilk equals 17.63 tbsp. Buttermilk has a density of 245g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 270 grams of buttermilk
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 270g ÷ 245g/cup = 1.10 cups × 16 = 17.63 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

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 Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
