Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 12.52 ounces of buttermilk
- Convert ounces to grams: 12.52 × 28.35 = 354.94g
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 354.94g ÷ 245g/cup = 1.45 cups
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.
