Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 205g/cup × 16 = tablespoons

Start with 1.81 ounces of lard
Convert ounces to grams: 1.81 × 28.35 = 51.31g
1 cup of lard = 205g
51.31g ÷ 205g/cup = 0.25 cups × 16 = 4.00 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Lard and butter have similar densities per cup (lard is 205g vs butter at 227g), but they are not interchangeable by weight in recipes because the flavor and moisture content differ.
