How Much Is 4 Tablespoons of Self-Rising Flour in Grams?
Converting 4 tablespoons of self-rising flour to grams gives 30.00 g. One tablespoon of self-rising flour weighs 7.5g, so 4 tablespoons is 4 × 7.5 = 30g. This conversion is specific to self-rising flour because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4 tablespoons of self-rising flour
- 1 tablespoon of self-rising flour = 7.5g
- 4 × 7.5 = 30g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh self-rising flour on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements can vary by 20-30% depending on how the flour is scooped.

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.
