Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.71 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.
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 8 teaspoons: 8 × 2.5 = 20g, then 20 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.71 oz.
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.
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.
