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 2 × 7.8 = 16 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 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour?
2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour is 16 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.
