Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 490g/pt = grams
  1. Start with 1 pint of buttermilk
  2. 1 pint of buttermilk = 490g
  3. 1 × 490 = 490g

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

For 1 pint of buttermilk, just remember: 490g. Double it for 2 pints (980g), halve it for a half pint (245g).

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
