Liquids, flour and others
We recommend that you use the cup provided for all recipes for consistency between brands and types of flour. The cup provided is based on the American cup measurement of 8 Floz.
For people who prefer to use their own measuring utensils, alternative measurements are in millilitres (ml) and cubic centimetres (cc)for liquid measurement and grams (gm) for weight of flour, sugar and fruit.
Note: A good quality set of accurate kitchen scales with divisions and accuracy to 2 grams are required. A measuring jug with divisions of 2 ml is required.
The tablespoon and teaspoon provided are required to measure the smaller quantities. A set of british standard spoons with ‘scrape’ level tops can be used.
DO NOT USE A KITCHEN TABLESPOON OR TEASPOON these are inaccurate.
