WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
In many of the most elaborate recipes, and especially those of foreign cooks, the quantities of the ingredxeuta are given almost invariably in ounces, pounds, and gills, and this is undoubtedly the most accurate way to measure. The well furnished kitchen should include in its equipment a pair of scales, but unfortunately many housekeepers are without this useful asset, and for their information it is easy to transpose these measures into the ordinary parlance of the kitchen. For instance, three tablespoonfuls of flour is the equivalent of one ounce; two tablespoonfuls of butter equals one ounce; two tablespoonfuls of granulated, sugar one ounce; one cupful of liquid equals two gills, and a wineglass half a gill, and one cup of bread weighs about two ounces.
