“Cup size chartö
Owing to the variation in size of cups, spoons, etc., the exact weights cannot be accurately gauged and are only approximate. However, the following will be found to be fairly accurate.
Liquid measures:
1 Breakfast cup = ½ pint
½ Breakfast cup = 1 gill
20 fluid ounces (British measure) = 1 pint
1 Tablespoon = 1 ounce
1 Wineglass = 2 Tablespoons
1 pint = 600 millilitres
Dry measures:
1 level Teacup of sugar weighs 6 ounces
1 level Breakfast cup of sugar weighs 8 ounces
So the Breakfast cup holds 30% more sugar than the Teacup.
1 level Breakfast cup flour weighs 6 ounces.
So sugar is denser than flour (weighs more for the same volume).
An average hen egg weighs 2 ounces.ö
From my mother's old New Zealand cookery book (1956 edition), printed by a maker of baking powder, custard powder, cornflour and jelly crystals.
