Frequently Asked Questions

1/4 cup of all-purpose flour is 31 grams using the US customary cup and spoon-and-level measuring method. If you scoop directly from the bag, you may get 35–40g due to compaction. Other flour types: bread flour = 32g, cake flour = 29g, whole wheat flour = 30g, almond flour = 24g per 1/4 cup.
1/4 cup of granulated sugar is 50 grams. Brown sugar (packed) = 55g, powdered sugar = 30g, caster sugar = 50g, coconut sugar = 45g per 1/4 cup.
1/4 cup of butter is 57 grams, which equals 4 tablespoons or exactly half of one US butter stick (113.5g per stick). This is a very common baking amount.
1/4 cup equals exactly 4 tablespoons or 12 teaspoons in the US measurement system. This makes it easy to measure without a 1/4 cup measure — just use 4 level tablespoons.
