I've got an American cookbook, can somebody tell me the liquid and dry ingredient equivalent to a cup measure

One pint liquid = 2 cups (American cups are standard 1/2pt, but American pts are slightly smaller than British so their cup is equivalent to two-fifths a British pt).





1lb butter or other fat = 2 cups


1lb flour = 4 cups


1lb gran or castor sugar = 2 cups


1lb icing sugar = 3 cups


1lb brown (moist) sugar = 2 2/3 cups


1lb golden syrup or treacle = 1 cup


1lb rice = 2 cups


1lb dried fruit = 2 cups


1lb chopped meat (finely packed) = 2 cups


1lb lentils or split peas = 2 cups


1lb coffee (unground) = 2 1/3 cups


1 lb soft breadcrumbs = 4 cupsI've got an American cookbook, can somebody tell me the liquid and dry ingredient equivalent to a cup measure
8 fluid ounces


16 tablespoons (dry)I've got an American cookbook, can somebody tell me the liquid and dry ingredient equivalent to a cup measure
Americans tend to use volume measures, which are convenient, though not terribly accurate for dry ingredients (eg. flour).


Anyway, a cup is 8 fl oz.
The conversions you need are specific to the ingredient to be measured, ie flour, sugar, milk, etc. This site is the best around!
