  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

Greek yoghurt (also spelt 'yogurt' in US recipes) is strained yoghurt with a thick, creamy texture and a higher protein content than regular plain yoghurt. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 260 grams or 9.17 ounces. It's used in dips, dressings, marinades, frostings, and as a higher-protein swap in cakes and muffins.

Greek yoghurt comes in 150 g pots or 500 g tubs, while recipes often call for cups or tablespoons. Converting between the two stops you reaching for an extra pot mid-recipe or wasting half of one.

Plain yoghurt is looser and a touch lighter than Greek yoghurt (258 g vs 260 g per cup) since it isn't strained. Swap 1:1 in batters and marinades; for thick dips or no-bake desserts that need to hold their shape, Greek yoghurt is the better pick. See our Plain Yoghurt converter.

Sour cream is cultured cream with a fat content closer to double cream, while Greek yoghurt is strained yoghurt with much less fat. They are close in weight (250 g vs 260 g per cup) and swap 1:1 in baking and dips, though sour cream gives a richer, less tangy result. See our Sour Cream converter.

Crème fraîche is richer and more stable under heat than Greek yoghurt, with much higher fat content and a milder tang. They are close in weight (230 g vs 260 g per cup) and swap 1:1 in cold dips and dressings; for cooked sauces, crème fraîche holds together better. See our Crème Fraîche converter.
