Recipe: UK weights and measures

Tips and Tricks - Cooking
ADVERTISEMENT
British cookes weigh their ingredients for absolute accuracy. Volumetric amounts can be inaccurate due to inaccurate technique viz getting the flour into the cup. Different flours weigh different eg:

Weight of flour PER CUP:
4 3/8 ounces all-purpose flour (USDA)
4 5/8 ounces all-purpose flour (Gold Medal)
4 1/4 ounces whole wheat flour (USDA)
4 1/2 ounces whole wheat flour (Gold Medal)
4 1/2 ounces bread flour (USDA)
4 3/4 ounces bread flour (Gold Medal)
3 5/8 ounces rye flour (USDA)

12 ounces = 12 fluid ounces or 1 1/2 cups of liquid

A British pint is 20 fluid ounces NOT the 16 fluid ounces of the USA system.

UK 1 1/4 pints = 20 + 5 = 25 ounces
versas
USA 1 1/4 pints = 16 + 4 = 20 ounces

ALSO

USA 1 gill = 4 ounces
UK 1 gill = 5 ounces
