60 Grams of Flour to Cups
60 grams of all-purpose flour equals ½ cup (0.5 US cups), based on 120 g per cup (spoon-and-level method). In the kitchen, measure 8 tbsp. For best results, weigh all-purpose flour with a scale — cup measurements vary with how the cup is filled.
Small amounts like this fit in a single cup measure with room to spare; the fraction matters more than the cup, so level carefully.
How much is 60 grams of all-purpose flour?
| US cups | ½ cup (0.5 cups) |
|---|---|
| Measured as | 8 tbsp |
| Ounces (weight) | 2.1 oz |
| Tablespoons (level) | about 8 tbsp |
| Density used | 120 g per US cup |
Seeing a different answer elsewhere? Sources disagree on flour: King Arthur's spoon-and-level standard is 120 g per cup (our number, giving ½ cup), while USDA-based tables use 125 g (giving ½ cup, 0.48 cups). Both are correct for their measuring method — see how we measure.
How to measure 60 g of all-purpose flour without a scale
Spoon flour into the cup with a spoon, then level the top with a straight edge — never scoop the cup into the bag. Scooping compresses flour and can pack in 20–30% more (140 g+ instead of 120 g), which is the single most common reason baked goods turn out dry. Sifted flour runs lighter still, about 110 g per cup.

The same weight fills a very different cup depending on density — that's why "grams to cups" always needs the ingredient:
- 60 g of granulated sugar to cups — ⅓ cup
- 60 g of butter to cups — ¼ cup
