Frequently Asked Questions

How many tablespoons in a cup?
US: 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons. UK/Australia metric cup = 250 ml (US cup = 236.6 ml).
How do I convert cups to milliliters?
1 US cup ≈ 237 ml. 1 UK/AU metric cup = 250 ml. For baking precision, use ml or weigh ingredients.
What is the difference between tbsp and tsp?
1 tablespoon (tbsp) = 3 teaspoons (tsp). Abbreviations vary by country — "T" vs "t" in some older recipes.

Weight (grams) is more accurate for baking. 1 cup of flour can vary 30%+ by how it is scooped. Professional bakers use scales.
