|---|---|---|---|
| Half Batch (0.5×) | 75g (2.65 oz) | ½ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp | 138.6 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 150g (5.29 oz) | 1 cup + 2 tbsp + 2 ¼ tsp | 277.3 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 225g (7.94 oz) | 1 ¾ cups | 415.9 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 300g (10.58 oz) | 2 ⅓ cups | 554.5 mL |

Measuring 150g of Cornstarch in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of cornstarch weighs 128g when measured spooned & leveled, 150 Grams (150g) translates to 1.17 US cups (1 cup + 2 tbsp + 2 ¼ tsp). By contrast, using the dip scooped measure (145g/cup — a 17g per-cup shift), 150g occupies 1 cup + 1 ¾ tsp (1.03 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 cup + 2 tbsp + 2 ¼ tsp (18.75 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Cornstarch packs easily into a solid cake when pressed; scoop gently with a spoon and sweep level with a straightedge.
