Quick answers

1/4 cup of buttermilk is about 57 g, 1/3 cup is about 76 g, 1/2 cup is about 114 g, 2/3 cup is about 151 g, 3/4 cup is about 170 g and 1 cup is about 227 g (8.0 oz). One tablespoon is about 14.2 g and one teaspoon about 4.7 g.

Example: using buttermilk in a recipe

If a recipe asks for 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk, that is 1.5 x 227 g, or about 340 g. If a recipe gives 200 g and you only have cups, divide 200 by 227 to get about 7/8 cups.

How to measure buttermilk

Measure liquids in a clear jug with a spout, set on a flat surface, and read the line at eye level. A dry measuring cup is made to be levelled, so it fills differently from a liquid jug.

Where these weights come from

Weights follow the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (rounded). Brands and measuring methods vary, so treat results as close estimates.
