This should be on lace-chat, but since Margery posted to lace and I'm not sure she is on chat, I'll reply. Pardon if anyone is offended.
When we moved back to VA from England, I had some recipes from FH Clive's aunts. Since they were in weights and I had my kitchen scales, I measured/weighed the most common ingredients. I found that the American tablespoon is about the same as a dessert spoon in England, and the teaspoon doesn't veer far from the teaspoon (as with a cup o') Here they are: Cake flour - 1 cup = 3 oz Plain flour - 1 cup = 4 oz Unbleached flour - 1 cup = 5 oz Sugar - 1 cup = 8 oz. Icing sugar - 1 cup = 4 oz (this is the same as confectioners sugar) Brown sugar, packed - � cup = 4 oz 1 cup = 8 oz Solid vegetable shortening - � cup = 4 oz Dry, uncooked regular oatmeal - 2 cups = 5 oz Raisins - 1 cup = 5 oz Chocolate chips - 1 cup = 6 oz Happy Baking, Betty Ann in Roanoke, Virginia USA - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
