How to convert tablespoons of all-purpose flour to grams

A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup. One cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 125 g, so one tablespoon is 7.8 g and 1 × 7.8 = 7.8 g.

Spoon flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20–30% more.

Frequently asked questions

How many grams is 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour?

1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour is 7.8 grams, based on 125 g per level US cup.

Is a tablespoon the same everywhere?

Almost. US and UK tablespoons hold about 15 ml and teaspoons about 5 ml. Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon is 20 ml (4 teaspoons), so use ¾ of an Australian tablespoon to match a US one.

Should I weigh all-purpose flour or measure it by volume?

Spoon flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20–30% more. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
