How to convert ounces of cornmeal to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 8 oz = 227 g. One US cup of cornmeal weighs 138 g, so 227 ÷ 138 = 1.64 cups.
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.

Should I weigh cornmeal or measure it by volume?
