I have a recipe we are doing later, it's part in grams and part in cups- I am getting myself confused so wondered if someone could help me covert it into grams- will post a picture of the ingredients!

Can anyone help with converting cups to grams?

Google is your friend.
You need to do each Ingredient separately- a cup of flour has a different weight to a cup of sugar.

Cups work by vime not weight, so there isn't a standard gram conversion. A cup of rice will weigh more than a cup of cornflakes, for exame.
A cup is approx 250ml, so if you have a measuring jug or can find a cup or glass that's about the right size, use that for the cup measured ingredients.

A cup is 250ml. So if you use a 250ml measurement that should cover you for each ingredient listed as cups if you don't have an actual 'cup' to measure from.

That's what I would do in this situation.

Volume

You could do it this once by volume in cups, with a cup as 240ml, and then weigh what you measure out and write it down for next time?

Is a standard block of butter not 250g? Now you need to find out what a standard cup size is and use it for the rest of the ingredients

dementedpixie · 24/10/2020 16:30

Do you have a cup to use as a measure? Doesn't matter the weight as it is done on volume although the cup you use should hold around 240/250mls. The only thing in grams there is butter but a standard block is 250g so you don't need to weigh anything

A standard cup is 8oz.
And only in Canada do we randomly mix cups and grams. Nothing is by weight so please don’t google. That’s a half pound of butter.

I agree that a cup is approximately 250 ml.
What are you making, is it a savoury cheese bread pudding? If so, don't worry too much about exact measurements, just keep the proportions of the cheese roughly equal to what they suggest.

It's a cheesy garlic bread (it should have garlic on the list but doesn't) the video with it shows the 6 cloves of garlic! Thanks for all your help!
