How All-Purpose Flour Converter Works?
The All-Purpose Flour Converter works by dividing grams of all-purpose flour by 2.6 g, the weight of 1 level US teaspoon of spooned flour. The figure matches the 125 g US cup used by most American test kitchens.
Fluff the flour
Stir the flour in the bag with a spoon. Flour settles during storage and weighs more per spoon when compacted.
Enter grams
Type the flour weight, such as 15 g for dusting a pan or thickening a sauce.
Spoon in and level
Spoon flour into the measure until it mounds, then sweep level without tapping.
All-Purpose Flour Converter Formula
The All-Purpose Flour Converter formula is teaspoons = grams of all-purpose flour ÷ 2.6.
tsp = g ÷ 2.6 | 1 tbsp = 7.8 g | 1 US cup ≈ 125 g
- 15 g of all-purpose flour ÷ 2.6 = 5.77 tsp, about 1 tbsp + 2 ¾ tsp.
- 30 g of all-purpose flour ÷ 7.8 = 3.85 tbsp, close to ¼ cup.
- 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour × 7.8 = 15.6 g.

What is All-Purpose Flour Converter?
The All-Purpose Flour Converter is a calculator that converts grams of all-purpose (plain) flour into teaspoons and tablespoons. All-purpose flour is milled from a blend of hard and soft wheat with 10–12% protein.
Flour is the ingredient most affected by measuring style. Scooping straight from the bag packs 10–20% extra flour into the spoon, which dries out cakes and toughens cookies. The converter uses the spoon-and-level weight that recipe developers test with.
