Measuring 175g of Graham Cracker Crumbs in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of graham cracker crumbs weighs 100g when measured dip and sweep, 175 Grams (175g) translates to 1.75 US cups (1 ¾ cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ¾ cups (28 tablespoons total) using dip and sweep technique. 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.
