AMERICAN IMPERIAL METRIC
1 cup flour 5oz 150g
1 cup caster granulated sugar 8oz 225g
1 cup brown sugar 6oz 175g
1 cup butter/margarine/lard 8oz 225g
1 stick butter 4oz 110g
1 cup sultanas/raisins 7oz 200g
1 cup currants/cranberries 5oz 150g
1 cup ground almonds 4oz 110g

I found a version of this chart over on Like Mam Used To Bake and I thought it was a great idea - I have printed it out and stuck it to the inside of my baking press (cupboard). I am particularly happy to have the stick of butter measurement here, and I find it really hard to get that simple conversion into my thick skull!!!!
P.S. No reason for the photo of the calves other than I think they are so cute (even when they have kept me awake all night!!!)
Please forgive the fact that the chart is all over the place!!!!!! I just can't figure out how to get it right.

Great idea! I have friends in England who send me cookbooks so a conversion chart always comes in handy. Love the cows as we have lots of them near us as well.
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this handy information.
It's very useful. Thanks
Very handy BVG - thank you, I will copy this as I am often too lazy to convert things when I see a US recipe :)
Love the calves! Do they have names or are you more of the no-names-for-working-stock variety? I've always worked on 100g = a stick of butter, good to know that I need to add 10%. You're a wealth of info BG. Thank you :)
Thanks for the info. And the numbers look kind of deliberatley artistic like that ;-}
Thats me Emmalene - very artistic!!!
Calves not ours Saffy, too many to name, and way too cute to think where they are going :-{
Saffy - good to know you are cutting down on the wicked fat without even knowing!!!
Thank you Bridgett, Velva, Manu and Lucie - hope it is useful :-}}
Good bless you! I'll compare it with my chart (full of personal, hand-written notes...). Thank you and... Ciao!

Love it...thank you. Those calves are adorable! I was glad you weren't posting a beef recipe...I think you would have converted me to vegan! Have a great weekend :)
This is getting bookmarked, definitely useful since I do a lot of US food blog reading! ^_^
