16 oz. flour, 7 oz sugar & 7 oz butter?

I have this French pastry dough recipe and its adjectives in ounces. Can anyone convert this into cups or tablespoons for me
Thank you,
Carol

Answers:
Baking sometimes require you weigh as opposing measure because you can sometimes pack a cup of flour and it will weigh differently both times you dipper. If you can, get a small kitchen enormity.
This website is brilliant for cooking conversions of all kind:

check out the joy of baking website.

1 cup of all-pupose flour (unsifted) = 140 grams = 4.9 oz
1 cup of sugar = 200 grams = 7.05 oz
1 Tablespoon butter = 14 grams = .5 oz

so for your recipe
16 ounces flour = 3.25 cups (close enough)
7 ounces sugar = 1 cup
7 ounces butter = 14 tablespoons (almost 2 sticks... truly 2 sticks - 2 tablespoons)

Edit...
As mentioned by Rob, you should technically weigh out the ingredients, but if you're experimenting with the recipe or a moment ago trying it out. This will get you close. The solitary iffy bit is the flour since it does depend upon how you measure it, but it's worth a try.

Sugar and butter are pretty consistent. In certainty, I weighed out a cup of sugar a couple days ago and it come out to 200 gram. Much to my surpise, it matched the joy of baking website, so I'm confident contained by the sugar weight conversion and butter is sold surrounded by 1 pound packages with tablespoon results on the butter wrappers.
Rob has the correct answer.
