Understanding Buttermilk Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
To convert 1 gram of buttermilk to us cup, we divide by the density (1.03 g/ml). First, 1g ÷ 1.03 g/ml = 1.0ml. Then, dividing by the us cup volume (236.59ml): 1.0ml ÷ 236.59ml = 0 us cup.
Measurement Tip
For room-temperature recipes, let buttermilk sit out for 15-20 minutes before measuring. Cold buttermilk is slightly denser than room-temperature buttermilk, which can affect very precise recipes. Our density of 1.03 g/ml is based on refrigerated buttermilk.
