1 cup of buttermilk weighs 240 grams, very close to the weight of water. Buttermilk is almost always measured in cups in recipes, but grams are more precise — especially when halving or quartering a recipe. Don't substitute regular milk without adding acid (1 tbsp lemon juice per cup) or the leavening reaction won't activate.

For the most accurate results, weigh your buttermilk with a digital kitchen scale — the values below assume a level, unpacked cup.
