As long as everything is done in the same size cups, then everything will be proportionate.

But also in recipes using cups you use amount of eggs, not cups. I actually bake quite often using cups, it works well.

Davkaus Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Where it gets slightly frustrating is that a typical us measuring cup is 240ml, whereas in the UK, they're made 250ml. But if it's something I'm measuring with a cup, being 4% off is no big deal. Now, sticks of butter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is amusing, because the cups are probably more accurate. How much is 1 egg? They vary in size I also get annoyed by "1 carrot", "3 shallots"...

Generally if you take a standard mug size and use that for everything in the recipe as your basis it should be fine. This recipe is infuriating though. The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Ever - JoyFoodSunshine When converted, all of the cup values for different ingredients are different ffs And the flour is very off. AND why is metric for teaspoon abbreviated and for imperial the full word!? Edited March 22 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dog Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Well I've found out my bail date is likely to be extended by another 3 months, so 9 months in total by the end. Why has it been extended? Limited police resource. I'm not entirely sure that's my fault lads, I didn't vote for the cutbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
