How much does a dL of flour weigh?

How much does a dL of flour weigh? - Man in White Dress Shirt Sitting Beside Girl in White Long Sleeve Shirt

Pretty much the title question. I have a baking recipe that uses metric volume measurements, and I’d like to convert it to weight.



Best Answer

There can be no exact general conversion because flour's density depends on how it has packed into a space and also a little on the specific flour – this is why mass measurements are preferred for most serious purposes.

However, there are plenty of resources that will give you a suitable answer and any recipe using volume measurements for solids shouldn't be too dependent on small variations: the first one that came up for me when I googled 'dl flour in grams' was this which gives 52.1g. (The implied level of precision here is misleading of course.)

Answer 2

Building off what @dbmag9 said:

According to Pastries like a pro

  • 1 Cup Sifted Flour ~114g, so 1 dL is about 48g.
  • 1 Cup Unsifted Flour ~140g, so 1dL is about 59g.

So, if it is "Sifted Flour" or "Flour, Sifted", you would have different weights.

I also looked at King Arthur Baking for "flour".

  • Averaging the Wheat flours came out to about 50.55g / 1dL.
  • All Purpose flour came out to 50.7g / dL.
  • Averaging all 48 types of "flour" listed came out to 47.18g/dL.

Answer 3

dL (deciliter = 0.10 liter [100ml] = 100g of water)

'dL' is used in Sweden as a measuring spoon/cup and 60g is quoted for flour.


Translated from Umrechnung dl = g page listed below:

name dL
Sugar 90g
Flour 60g
Fine rye flour 50g
Coarse rye flour 55g
food starch 80g
Syrup or Honey 140g
Almonds/Nuts 65g
raisins 60g
Melted butter 90g
oatmeal 30g

For those who are not in Sweden, IKEA seems to offer such spoons/cups:

VARDAGEN:

  • 1 ml (1 pinch)
  • 1 Teaspoon. (5ml)
  • 1 Tablespoon (15ml)
  • 1/2 Deciliter (50ml)
  • 1 Deciliter (100ml) = 0.4226752838 Cup (US)
    • 1 Cup (US) = 2.365882365 dL = 236.5882365ml of water
      • 100ml=236.5882365*0.4226752838

If you know that your flour is 140g per US Cup:

  • 1 dL = 59.1745397282g = 140/2.365882365
