Can anyone tell me what the measurements of American cups are?
I use a set of Tupperware cups & the measurements on the base (in metric)of them are as follows:
1 teaspoon = 5ml
1 tablespoon = 20ml
1/4 cup = 60ml
1/3 cup = 84ml
1/2 cup = 125ml
2/3 cup = 167ml
3/4 cup = 188ml
1 cup = 250ml
I know that the American dry/liquid measurements are different.
The reason being i bought 2 books by Kay & Liv Hansen & have been making some of their cookie recipes but sometimes the dough turns out too soft & I have to add loads more flour which, can then upset the rest of the recipe.
