  2. 1 tablespoon of self-rising flour = 7.5g
  3. 1 × 7.5 = 7.5g

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

Understanding the Units

A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.

What is a Gram?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 7.50 g, 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.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 7.5 (grams per tablespoon for self-rising flour). For 1 tablespoon: 1 × 7.5 = 7.50 g.
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: 7.50 g ÷ 7.5 = 1 tablespoon. Or use the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
