Recipe Introduction


You may see these measurements called for in Old American recipes...now you know what they mean!
Old American measuring equivalents :

1 dessert spoon = 2 teaspoons
2 coffee spoons = 1 teaspoon
1 cooking spoon = 1 Tablespoon
1 saltspoon =1/4 teaspoon
1 wineglass = 2 oz or 1/4 cup
1 teacup = 1/2 cup
butter the size of an egg = 1/4 cup
1 gill = 1/2 cup/125ml



If you know the quarts then multiply by 0.95 to get the liters.

If you know the gallons then multiply by 3.8 to get the liters.
