16 oz. flour, 7 oz sugar & 7 oz butter?
I have this French pastry dough recipe and its all in ounces. Can anyone convert this into cups or tablespoons for me
Thank you,
Carol
Answers:
Baking sometimes require you weigh as opposed to measure because you can sometimes pack a cup of flour and it will weigh differently both times you scoop. If you can, get a small kitchen scale.
This website is brilliant for cooking conversions of all kinds:

check out the joy of baking website....
1 cup of all-pupose flour (unsifted) = 140 grams = 4.9 oz
1 cup of sugar = 200 grams = 7.05 oz
1 Tablespoon butter = 14 grams = .5 oz
so for your recipe
16 ounces flour = 3.25 cups (close enough)
7 ounces sugar = 1 cup
7 ounces butter = 14 tablespoons (almost 2 sticks... actually 2 sticks - 2 tablespoons)
Edit...
As mentioned by Rob, you should technically weigh out the ingredients, but if you're experimenting with the recipe or just trying it out. This will get you close. The only iffy bit is the flour since it does depend upon how you measure it, but it's worth a try.
Sugar and butter are pretty consistent. In fact, I weighed out a cup of sugar a couple days ago and it came out to 200 gram. Much to my surpise, it matched the joy of baking website, so I'm confident in the sugar weight conversion and butter is sold in 1 pound packages with tablespoon marks on the butter wrappers.
Rob has the correct answer.
