If you would like to use the American “cups” method of measurement, the table below can be used as a conversion guideline for non-liquid ingredients.
Officially, a US Cup is 240ml (or 8.45 imperial fluid ounces.) This is slightly different from an Australian, Canadian and South African Cup which is 250ml. As long as you use the same cup for measuring out each of your ingredients, the proportions should work out the same.
Look below for the ingredient that you are looking to measure, then you will see the grams needed to be used for that measurement.
You can also download and print the table by clicking the link below to have in the kitchen for future use!
