British, American, and Canadian measurements

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

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.
