Hi - I have a recipe I want to try, but measurements are US.
Could someone help me convert, or does anyone know a good website to help with this?
1/2 cup sugar = ?
thanks

Who on earth would ever nag you TerryDox? More action and less of the old please! 
Hi Mary and Snowy, yes I like that conversion site cos it kind of covers everything.

Hi Mary - active may be a bit of an exaggeration compared to the 'old days' but I do get back on from time to time especially if someone nags me!

Hi Mary and Rosti. Long time no speak!! Glad to see you on here Mary.
I find UK to US conversions difficult, so thanks for the help Rosti and cheese obsessive.

I usually use these conversion charts, which are quite comprehensive:

I have been told that the flour conversion should be nearer 5oz or 130g though.

Just pleased you understand Cheese Obsessive.
Many thanks Rosti - I knew you had a good site that you had shown before but couldn't remember which one it was.
And Mary it is really good to hear from you again after all this time

The Great British Kitchen link looks good. Australian cups are different again, how confusing can it get?!

Sorry Cheese Obsessive I hope I didn't offend you, you gave the link to the ukfood site in good faith.

Please be careful using these conversions at least three of them are wrong enough to cause problems especially when baking. I haven't checked out the rest properly but oven temperatures look ok.
1 US cup = 237 ml
1 US pint = 473 ml
1 US quart = 946 ml
