How Much Is 12.7 Ounces of Buttermilk in Fluid Ounces?
12.7 ounces of buttermilk equals 11.76 fl oz. 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 12.7 ounces of buttermilk
- Convert ounces to grams: 12.7 × 28.35 = 360.04g
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 360.04g ÷ 245g/cup = 1.47 cups × 8 = 11.76 fluid ounces
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 an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
What is a Fluid Ounce?
There are 8 fluid ounces in a US cup and 128 fluid ounces in a US gallon. The UK fluid ounce is slightly smaller (28.413 ml vs 29.574 ml), so UK and US recipes using fluid ounces will differ slightly.
