Understanding the Units

What is a Teaspoon?

One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many ounces is 5 teaspoons of self-rising flour? expand_more

About 0.44 oz, 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.

What is the formula for converting teaspoons of self-rising flour to ounces? expand_more

Multiply the number of teaspoons by 2.5 (grams per teaspoon for self-rising flour), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 5 teaspoons: 5 × 2.5 = 12.5g, then 12.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.44 oz.

How do I measure self-rising flour accurately? expand_more

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.

Does the measurement method affect how much self-rising flour weighs per cup? expand_more

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.
