Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 120g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 1.59 ounces of self-rising flour
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 1.59 × 28.35 = 45.08g
  3. 1 cup of self-rising flour = 120g
  4. 45.08g ÷ 120g/cup = 0.38 cups × 16 = 6.01 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

What is a Tablespoon?

One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 6.01 tbsp, based on self-rising flour having a density of 120g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 120 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 1.59 ounces: 1.59 × 28.3495 = 45.08g, then 45.08 ÷ 120 = 0.38 cups × 16 = 6.01 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh self-rising flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring spoon and level it off, you will get about 120 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 132 to 150 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 6.01 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.375631 cups, then 0.375631 × 120g/cup = 45.08g, then 45.08g ÷ 28.3495 = 1.59 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
