Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.8 pints of buttermilk

- 0.8 × 490 = 392g

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.
