Nice one. I like this

I always need to have at hand the conversion for a "stick" of American butter. I think it's 4oz or 120g.

Crisses 14:39 19 Oct 2017

Conventional US butter: Mnemonic: Usually they're sold 4 sticks to the pound (16 oz). From there it's math :) 2 sticks = 8 ounces or 16 TBS (1 cup) 1 stick = 4 ounces or 8 TBS

YukonBrat 11:41 24 Jan 2013

I don't think you can do cheat section on cups to ounces. The conversion depends on the density of the substance. For example, 1 cup of sugar = 6 oz but 1 cup of flour = 4 oz;

Don't know if you're in the UK; but here semi-skimmed milk is like halfway between full fat or whole milk, and skimmed milk (milk flavoured water!!!). hope this helps.

How do I semi-skin milk for the Pancakes? ;)
