How much does a tablespoon hold: a hint in case you don't have a scale
Any recipe tells you how many of certain ingredients you will need to prepare breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Sometimes, units such as spoon, glass or cup are used to indicate quantity. But more often, it must be admitted, the authors of instructions on how to cook a roast or dessert use grams.
What should you do if you can't bear to try a new treat and there are no scales in the kitchen? It's simple - use the tools at your disposal.
Today we will talk about such an “accessory” as a tablespoon.
So, if we are talking about baking, you will probably need products such as flour, sugar and yeast.
So, one heaped tablespoon contains 30 g of wheat flour, 25 g of sugar or 28 g of powdered sugar, 28 g of soda and 11 g of dry yeast.
If the recipe requires cocoa, 25 g fits into a tablespoon. Cinnamon and ground coffee are slightly less – 20 g each.
One heaping tablespoon of granulated gelatin will weigh 15 g, and citric acid (with crystals) – 16 g.
