How to convert tablespoons of self-rising flour to grams

A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup. One cup of self-rising flour weighs about 125 g, so one tablespoon is 7.8 g and 5 × 7.8 = 39 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.
