Frequently asked questions

How many grams is 2 1/2 cups of cornmeal?

2 1/2 cups of cornmeal is 345 grams, based on 138 g per level US cup.

Is it different with a UK or Australian cup?

Slightly. UK, Australian and New Zealand recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, which is about 6% bigger than a US cup (236.6 ml). Using a metric cup, 2 1/2 cups of cornmeal would be 365 g.

Should I weigh cornmeal 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.
