Cups in a recipe

[giveup]

I have a recipe which calls for a cup of flour and a cup of cream(among other ingredients) do I use the same sized cup I have enough problems with grams etc. I like good old lbs and ozs. Thanks for any help

Cups are usual USA measures and as far as I know don't actaully relate to a cup. I've never got my head round them and avoid recipes which use them, But here's a conversion chart from Delia which might help. Scroll down for the cups - lbs oz section

Thanks very much. I have to make quite few scones for an afternoon tea party and thought I'd try a few different recipes but quite a few are measured in cups.

ASDA do very cheap plastic measuring cups and spoons. Makes cooking really easy I find.
