Measuring 1 Tablespoon of Graham Cracker Crumbs in the Kitchen
Measured dip and sweep at a verified bulk density of 100g per US cup, 1 tablespoon of graham cracker crumbs weighs 6.3 grams (0.22 ounces).
Spoon crushed crumbs into the cup and sweep level with a straight edge without pressing down. Firmly packing the crumbs into the cup can increase density from 100 grams to nearly 125 grams, disrupting your butter-to-crumb crust balance.
