Steps:
- 1. Measurements for the UK, Canada, and the USA are quite different. The measurements below may be helpful in understanding recipes in your measurement system. British Measurements: Solid 25 g = 1 oz 225 g = 8 oz 450 g = 1 lb Liquid 25 ml = 1 fl oz 225 ml = 8 fl oz 575 ml = 1 pt American Measurements: Flour and Powdered Sugar 30 g = 1/4 cup 60 g = 1/2 cup 110 g = 1 cup Granulated Sugar 55 g = 1/4 cup Brown Sugar 50 g = 1/4 cup Butter or Margarine 55 g = 1/4 cup Cocoa 30 g = 1/4 cup Liquid 1 cup = 237 ml 1 oz = 30 ml 1 tsp = 5 ml 1 tbsp = 15 ml
- 2. One of the main differences as listed above is that the British measurements are done by weight and the American are done by volume which is why there is one measurement for flour and another for sugar -- they do not weigh the same.
