How Much Is 60 Grams of Self-Rising Flour in Tablespoons?

60 grams of self-rising flour equals 8.00 tbsp. Self-rising flour has a density of 120g per cup. Because grams measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.

Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 120g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 60 grams of self-rising flour
  2. 1 cup of self-rising flour = 120g
  3. 60g ÷ 120g/cup = 0.5 cups × 16 = 8.00 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

For the most consistent results, weigh self-rising flour on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements can vary by 20-30% depending on how the flour is scooped.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 8.00 tbsp, based on self-rising flour having a density of 120g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 120 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 60 grams: 60 ÷ 120 = 0.5 cups × 16 = 8.00 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh self-rising flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring spoon and level it off, you will get about 120 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 132 to 150 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 8.00 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.5 cups, then 0.5 × 120g/cup = 60g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
