It gets so confusing, to me, when reading a recipe and realising it's not UK Cups it's American Cups or they've put a gas mark and you have a fan oven. I have a lot of recipes in ounces and pounds because I'm that old, I like reading antique cookbooks and I have been known to be a bit of a Luddite. So, here's your, and my, go-to for those conversions you may need.

You'll also find a table with weights for eggs. Although we've all been known to substitute a medium sized egg for a large one, if the recipe calls for a large egg, there is a reason for it. the table shows the difference in weights per egg so you can adapt.

Although using cups can be quicker, I recommend weighing ingredients, especially when baking. Something else to remember about cups, American cups and British cups are not the same! Don't get caught out when you're reading recipes online, always check the source.
