Understanding the Units
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.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
