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 |
