How this works
All-purpose flour has a density of about 0.508 g/mL (king arthur baking: 1 cup = 120g). That means 1 mL of all-purpose flour weighs 0.508 grams.
Ounces = tablespoons × 0.2650
Note: Spooned and leveled, not packed. Sifted flour is closer to 0.42 g/mL.
Why a cup of all-purpose flour doesn't always weigh the same
Volume measurements are forgiving in some ways and brutal in others. A cup of all-purpose flour can vary by 10-20% in weight depending on how it's measured: spooned vs scooped, packed vs loose, sifted vs unsifted. The density figure used here matches the most common published recipe conventions, but if you're after baking precision, weighing on a kitchen scale is more accurate than measuring by volume.
