Question

How many tablespoons of butter is 50 grams? and how much flour is 50 grams in cups?

Answer 1

One pound of butter has 32 tablespoons, so each tablespoon is 14.174grams.  Thus, 50 grams = 3.5 tablespoons of butter.

Flour is more tricky.  It depends on what kind of flour, and how you measure it.  But, according to http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/coo... , 50 grams of US all purpose flour is 1/2 cup.  My own experiments would put it at 1/3 cup.  The USDA Nutrient Database, http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/se... , puts one cup of fall purpose flour at 125 grams, so that would make 50 grams be 4/10, or just under 1/2 cup.
