A metric cup (250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many Indian recipes) holds about 6% more than a US cup.
Spoon the flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20–30% more.
Whole-grain cornmeal. Coarse polenta weighs more, about 163 g per cup.
Also called: makki ka atta (fine).
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of cornmeal weighs about 138 g (4.9 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 146 g.
1 level tablespoon of cornmeal is about 8.6 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 2.9 g.
100 g of cornmeal is about 0.72 cups, or 11.6 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Cornmeal is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (138 g vs 237 g).
