Why European Recipes Always Use Grams

🇩🇪

German Recipes

"100g Mehl" is standard. Germans value precision - no wonder their bread is world-famous!

🇬🇧

UK/British Recipes

Modern UK recipes use grams, though older ones might use ounces. Perfect for traditional scones.

🇫🇷

French Recipes

"100g de farine" - French pastry precision requires exact measurements for perfect croissants.

The Metric Advantage: Grams are universal, precise, and scalable. Need half a recipe? Just divide by 2. No fractions like "⅔ of ¾ cup"!

Why 100g Makes a Difference

The 100g Rule in European Baking

European recipes often use 100g increments because it's easy to scale. But converting to cups isn't always straightforward:

❌ Common Mistake

Assuming 100g = 1 cup for all flours. This only works for some ingredients like rolled oats.

✅ Reality

100g flour = 0.8 cups. That 20% difference can make your bread too dry or cake too dense.

Quick Conversion Formulas

Mental Math Tips:

All-Purpose Flour

grams ÷ 125 = cups

Example: 250g ÷ 125 = 2 cups

Quick Estimates

  • • 100g ≈ ¾ cup + 1 tbsp
  • • 250g = exactly 2 cups
  • • 500g = exactly 4 cups

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cups is 100g flour?

100g all-purpose flour = 0.8 cups (about ¾ cup + 1 tablespoon). This is the most common conversion for European recipes.

What's 200g flour in cups?

200g all-purpose flour = 1.6 cups. For bread flour = 1.54 cups, cake flour = 1.74 cups. Always specify flour type for accuracy.

How do I convert 500g flour to cups?

500g all-purpose flour = 4 cups exactly. This is a common package size in Europe and makes scaling recipes easy (500g = 4 cups, 250g = 2 cups, etc.).

Why don't European recipes use cups?

Weight is more accurate than volume. European bakers have always used scales, resulting in more consistent results. Plus, metric math is easier - need 50% more? Just multiply grams by 1.5!

Can I convert self-raising flour the same way?

Yes, but note that self-raising flour is slightly lighter. 100g = 0.83 cups. It already contains baking powder and salt, common in UK recipes.
