How Much Is 2 Tablespoons of All-Purpose Flour in Ounces?
2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour equals 0.55 oz. All-purpose flour has a density of 125.16g per cup (7.82g per tablespoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 2 tablespoons of honey would be 1.50 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour = 7.82g
- 2 × 7.82 = 15.65g
- Convert grams to ounces: 15.65 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.55 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Humidity affects all-purpose flour weight. In humid conditions, flour absorbs moisture and weighs more per cup. Store it in an airtight container for consistent results.
