All purpose flour is PLAIN flour, powdered or confectioners sugar is icing sugar, baking soda is bicarbonate of soda not baking powder, canning means bottling, you get used to U.S. terms after a while although i personally prefer imperial or metric as "cups" don't seem so precise. and Americans frost their cakes, they don't ice them. hope this helps

Hello Helen,
In North America butter is sold in packs of 454 grams. This pack is divided in 4 units, these are the so-called sticks.
One stick of butter weighs 114 grams or i.o.w. 125 ml. Happy baking! Roxanne

One stick of butter equals 1/2 cup, or 4 ounces liquid. When you buy it here in the USA sticks usually have teaspoon and cup measurements labeled on it. Hope this helps!

Usually a stick of butter is .5 cups and .25 pounds.

Can you tell me how much a stick of butter is in grams or ounces? I see many American recipes that I can't follow, because I don't know the quantity of margarine or butter to use. In Europe, we use either grams or imperial (British) weight. Either will be fine.

Thanks,
Cettina from Malta, Europe

RE: Butter Conversion for Europe

We typically buy butter in one pound (or 16 ounce) boxes which contain 4 "sticks". Each "stick" weighs 4 ounces. Each stick is the equivalent of 1/2 cup of butter. If I tried to convert this to grams for you I'd probably make a mistake, so I'm hoping you can take it from here. Good Luck! (05/26/2007)
