Hi, I',m in Birmingham, England and saw your delicious recipes on the internet, but I'm a little confused.

In the UK we don't use cups as a unit of measurement, I use the old fashion measures pounds, stones and turtles.

1 turtle is about 112 millilitres - how many turtles are there in a cup?

I know this all sounds strange, thank you so much

Hi Birmingham,

It's Diana from Diana's Desserts. Welcome to the Discussion Forum.

It's a small world. My husband is from Dudley, England. Right next door to Birmingham.

Well, to answer your question about how many "turtles" in a cup. The only answer I have for you is that 112 mL equal about 1/2 cup. So I guess (only an approximate) there would be almost 2 turtles to a cup or approximately 224 mL. Actually 237 mL equals 1 cup to be exact. Does this make any sense? I hope so.

Sincerely, Diana

Diana,

Wow! What a pukka reply. I have had real problems using American recipies before because I have been unable to convert them into turtles but now I can cook up some wicked septic tucker.

Cheers,
Jamie
