Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 328g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 55.42 grams of corn syrup
  2. 1 cup of corn syrup = 328g
  3. 55.42g ÷ 328g/cup = 0.17 cups × 16 = 2.70 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Sticky liquids like corn syrup are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring spoon first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.

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?

A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 2.70 tbsp, based on corn syrup having a density of 328g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 328 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 55.42 grams: 55.42 ÷ 328 = 0.17 cups × 16 = 2.70 tbsp.
Weighing corn syrup on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. It is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring vessels. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the measuring spoon first so it slides out cleanly.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of corn syrup 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: 2.70 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.168963 cups, then 0.168963 × 328g/cup = 55.42g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
