Understanding the Units
What is a Pint?
US and UK pints are very different sizes. A US pint is 473 ml while a UK (imperial) pint is 568 ml, making the UK pint about 20% larger. A "pint of milk" in a British recipe is significantly more than in an American recipe.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
