3.78 tablespoons of self-rising flour weighs 1.00 oz. This is based on self-rising flour having a density of 120g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 3.78 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3.78 tablespoons of self-rising flour
- 1 tablespoon of self-rising flour = 7.5g
- 3.78 × 7.5 = 28.35g
