How much does a tablespoon really weigh?
Density is the reason there is no single answer: a cup is a measure of space, not weight, so its weight depends on the ingredient. A cup of butter is two US sticks and weighs 227 g (8 ounces); one tablespoon is about 14 g. The figure of 14.188 g per tablespoon used here is a common baking reference value; your own flour, humidity and scooping habit can move it a few percent either way.
Measure by spooning the ingredient lightly into the cup and leveling the top with a knife; never press it down unless the recipe says "packed". Scooping straight from the bag compacts dry ingredients and can add 20% or more. A digital kitchen scale removes the guesswork entirely, and it also means fewer dishes to wash.
