    In a lot of serving suggestions a cup is used as measurement. Does this mean a teacup or is there another universal cup?

    Thanks in advance

    Pick up a set of these when next out shopping... they are dirt cheap and will take out the guesswork!

    Cups are American and are a volume measurement. If you don't want to buy a set of cups measure half a pint of water into a measuring jug or mug or whatever is handy and that it one cup. It is usually a 'normal' mug size.

    Hope that helps.

    1 cup = 8 fl oz = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp = 237 ml
