My conversation for that would be 75g butter, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 1/2 cups flour. I am sure someone else will be more precise! Good luck

From the destitute gourmet - a handy conversion link page.
http://www.destitutegourmet.com/index. php? option=com_content &task=view&id=101 To convert ounces to grams, multiply ounces x 28. 35 To convert pounds to grams, multiply pounds x 453. 59
In cooking grams will replace ounces 1, 000g = 1 kg = 2lbs. 4 oz.

For future reference you can just type words like - convert lbs to kilos, or convert imperial to metric, etc, into your search engine and there will appear an entire page of conversion calculators to choose from.

*snorts* a 'really old recipe'? Whatever;) It has measurements and ingredients you can identify! You should see what a 'really old receipt'looks like. *'receipt' used deliberately, recipe is a modern word lol

The 'modern' word - recipe - has been used since the 1700's ... although not as old as receipt - I think it qualifies as old ...

if you look at a butter pack you should find lines along the side of it each line is one ounce of butter this is an easy way to work the butter out with a sharp knife

Actually whitehead, one line on a packet of butter is 50gms, which is more like 2oz.
