125 Grams to Cups
125 grams is 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ½ cup + 2 tbsp of granulated sugar or ½ cup + 1 tbsp of butter. The exact answer depends on the ingredient.
Tip: Spoon flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs in up to 30 g extra.
125 grams converts to 1 cup of all-purpose flour (125 g per cup), ½ cup + 2 tbsp of granulated sugar (200 g per cup), ½ cup + 1 tbsp of butter (227 g per cup), ½ cup + 1 tbsp of packed brown sugar and ½ cup of milk. For any other ingredient, divide 125 by its weight per cup.
