Cup Conversions
I find that a lot of recipes on blogs are Amercian and therefore quantities are in cups, so, here is a useful conversion table which I use:
| 1 cup of… | Is equal to… |
| Butter | 225g |
| Plain flour | 125g |
| Caster sugar | 225g |
| Soft brown sugar | 200g |
| Icing sugar | 125g |
| Liquids | 235ml |
Butter
Butter quantities are also often given in sticks or tablespoons so the amounts in grams are:
| 1 cup | 225g |
| 1 stick | 115g |
| 1 tablespoon | 15g |
| 1 teaspoon | 5g |
Temperature conversions
I use a gas oven so most of the temperatures I quote are in gas mark. If you want to convert them then follow this table:
| Gas Mark | °F | °C |
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
275°F 300°F 325°F 350°F 375°F 400°F 425°F 450°F 475°F |
140°C 150°C 170°C 180°C 190°C 200°C 220°C 230°C 240°C |
