This guide aims to help you get to grips with the basics of baking, from converting standardised US baking cups to traditional UK weights and volumes, to altering ingredient measurements and quantities in recipes to fit different sized baking tins!
Recipes from the USA often display baking measurements in 'Cups' – but how do they convert to the imperial and metric measurements more commonly used in the UK? Precise measurements are so important in baking, so we've created several baking conversion charts to help you out.
