Answer 2

I pound of butter is 16 oz. A stick (in the US) is a 1/4 pound so it weighs 4 oz. I use a scale that will weigh in lbs, oz., grams or k-grams. I went thru most of my recipes and weighed items (cup of flour) and added the weights on the side. Its much easier, faster and more accurate to weigh rather than use a measuring cup. All purpose flour is plain flour. I don't know the English equivalent of heavy cream but in the US it is whipping cream.

Answer 3

Sticks Of Butter To Grams

Answer 4

I know this has been answered already, but I had to clarify something.

Butter is sold by weight, where 1 lb = 16ozav (Avoirdupois)

A cup is ounces by volume, not weight, known as fluid ounces. IF it were water, then 1ozav=1floz. and they are the same.

Butter is .9 times the weight of water. So the real answer is one cup of butter is 7.2floz. But for most people 8floz butter is about 8ozav, or 2 sticks of butter.

This points out why the American system should eliminate oz, lb, inches and the like. Metric is based on 10's like our money, and is sooooo much easier.

Answer 5

In the US, a pound of butter is 16 ounces, or 454 grams. It is usually packaged as four sticks of 4 oz. each. So one stick is 1/2 cup, or 8 tablespoons. I would refer to all purpose flour as plain flour, as opposed to self rising. And I don't know what term Brits use for heavy cream.

Answer 6

Half A Cup Of Butter

Answer 7

1 cup of butter is 8 ozs.
Stick of butter is 4 ozs.
All purpose flour is plain flour
Heavy cream is double cream

Answer 8

The most natural and healthy diet for humans is an omnivorous diet, and not a plant based diet, or a meat-based diet per se. The Paleo Diet can be very widely varied and omnivorous for the most part, but the most important thing is that it’s unprocessed, and avoids the worst foods that agriculture brought mankind… refined inflammatory vegetable oils, refined grains (some are worse than others), and sugar!

As you can see, the benefits of adopting a Paleo way of eating can be incredible! I’ve been eating 95% Paleo for the last 5-6 years and I’ve never felt better. I have dozens of friends that have adopted a more Paleo way of eating too, and have seen all sorts of health problems disappear, including eliminating acne and other skin problems, digestion problems, improving brain clarity, and of course, losing a lot of body fat!

Answer 10

It doesn't really have an exact measurement, it's just a ratio, as in, 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of water. Also, depending on the ingredient, the weight will be different. 1 cup of rice is going to have a very different weight to 1 cup of flour.
