Understanding Buttermilk Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
Converting 1 metric cup to milliliter is a direct volume conversion. One metric cup equals 250ml, and one milliliter equals 1ml. So 1 metric cup (250ml) equals 250 milliliter.
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.
