Grandma's recipe says '1 gill' or maybe you found a great UK recipe that uses milliliters but you only have cups. Don't do the math in your head. You'll just end up with salty cookies.

Tips & Tricks
Memorize the basics: 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon, 16 tablespoons = 1 cup.
US vs UK: A US cup is 240ml, a UK cup is often 250ml—pay attention to the recipe origin.
For small amounts, use teaspoons; for larger quantities, use cups or milliliters.
Keep a conversion chart taped to your fridge for quick reference.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using US cup measurements for UK recipes—this can throw off your baking significantly.
Estimating instead of converting—even small differences can ruin baked goods.
Confusing dry measure cups with liquid measure cups—they're different sizes!
