How to measure paprika accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh paprika on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of paprika weighs about 108 grams (3.81 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts paprika and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Sweet, smoked and hot paprika are not interchangeable — check which a recipe means, as smoked paprika in particular will dominate a dish.
