How can I measure ingredients for baking without scales? Please help daughters birthday emergency!?
Hi, it is my daughters birthday and she wants fairy cakes which would be very simple if we wernt living in Portugal on my husbands work contract and have no scales!!
I normally use 125g of flour, butter & caster sugar & 2 eggs (plus a bit of milk)
Can anyone please either help me convert that, or give me a different recipe please. I am from the UK so if you are a kind US reply I have no idea what a cup is???
Thank you so much!
Well, I am US and I do try to always be kind - so here is my answer:
One pound of flour is roughly 3 1/2 cups and one pound equals 455 grams. So 455 divided by 3 1/2 = 130 grams per cup. Roughly.
Here is more:
All-purpose Flour and Confectioners' Sugar
U.S. Cups Grams
1/8 cup 15 grams
1/4 cup 30 grams
1/3 cup 40 grams
3/8 cup 45 grams
1/2 cup 60 grams
5/8 cup 70 grams
2/3 cup 75 grams
3/4 cup 85 grams
7/8 cup 100 grams
1 cup 110 grams
This is from a "Continental Cooking" Cookbook I often use.
