Measuring 25g 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, 25 Grams (25g) translates to 0.25 US cups (¼ cup).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¼ cup (4 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.
