Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.61 ounces of buttermilk
- Convert ounces to grams: 8.61 × 28.35 = 244.09g
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 244.09g ÷ 245g/cup = 1.00 cup × 8 = 7.97 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.
