How Much Is 5 Milliliters of Buttermilk in Ounces?
5 milliliters of buttermilk equals 0.18 oz. Buttermilk has a density of 245g per cup (1.04g per milliliter), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 5 milliliters of honey would be 0.25 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 milliliters of buttermilk
- 1 milliliter of buttermilk = 1.04g
- 5 × 1.04 = 5.18g
- Convert grams to ounces: 5.18 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.18 oz
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 Milliliter?
Milliliters measure volume and are used worldwide for cooking and baking. For water at room temperature, 1 ml weighs approximately 1 gram, but this relationship does not hold for other ingredients.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
