50 Grams to Cups
50 grams is ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of granulated sugar or 3.5 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.
50 grams converts to ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp of all-purpose flour (125 g per cup), ¼ cup of granulated sugar (200 g per cup), 3.5 tbsp of butter (227 g per cup), about 3.5 tbsp of packed brown sugar and about 3.5 tbsp of milk. For any other ingredient, divide 50 by its weight per cup.
