Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.23 teaspoons of lard
- 1 teaspoon of lard = 4.27g
- 0.23 × 4.27 = 0.98g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Lard and butter have similar densities per cup (lard is 205g vs butter at 227g), but they are not interchangeable by weight in recipes because the flavor and moisture content differ.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
