Dry measurements
Hi everyone. I wonder if you can help. Does anyone know where I can
find a list of American cup measurements. For example: 1 cup flour = 5 oz. 1 cup sugar = 8 oz. I'm wanting to convert some recipes I have from an American book my daughter bought me on a recent visit and I thought a list of the ingredients in this form would be useful. I hope you can help. Joan

Dry measurements
Thanks for your quick replies and for the links. The conversion charts are really useful. As for the measurements I have, I found the same measurements in several places, so took these as a guideline. I think these are rounded up, because you don't want to be measuring "point something" of an ounce! So these suited me and I wondered if there was anywhere else I could find for other ingredients such as rice, raisins etc. I have come to the conclusion that if you stick to the one conversion chart for your recipe, it doesn't matter. As long as you don't mix and match! The cake was amazing by the way. Joan
