Hi elona,

The measurement of a full cup is 240 mls so if you use an ordinary jug with measurement in mls it should work out ok. I hope your cup turns up soon.

Hi Elona
I have my MR cup in front of me
it takes 120 ml water
it says 8 oz so I presume that means a cup of flour is 8 oz which having just weighed a cup of flour is exactly that 1/8 cup is 1 oz
1/4 cup isa generous 2 oz
does that help

Elona, I know just how you feel. Wanted to make meringue at the w/e but couldn't as my whisk attachment was *tidied away*. Just found it behind the BM

I'm possibly not much help, but I got a free measure from the *Freebies board*. It's 250ml, and you're welcome to it if you'd like it. PM me if you'd like it and I'll put it in a jiffy for you. Alternatively, we can meet in York :beer:

Do you weigh your flour, or measure it by volume? If you weigh it, I can give you my recipe.

HTH, Penny. x

Thanks pink winged, Mrs Mix and Penelope Penguin

I do have a small measuring jug that does 250 mls measure that I have just bought a few days ago so can use that now that I know what size the original cup was.
Have just put a bread mix in the breadmaker and used my little measuring jug for water so fingers crossed.
Think it is the cold and darker days that are making me so down in the dumps.

DH keeps telling me "it will turn up somewhere" and "people are just being helpful!"

What a kind offer - that is really sweet of you - now I know the size of the original cup then I think that I will be all right.

Hi Callumpster,

I can give you the recipes for both from the MR recipe book but they may not work so well in the AWT machine.

I had a look on the breville website and if you click on the model you have, there is an option to download the instruction booklet, failing that there is a 'contact us' option.

Hope this helps,

Pink

Something I do to help me keep a track on portion szes is keep a stash of cheap white plastic 'disposable' cups handy. For each item, porridge, rice, pasta etc, I have measured or weighed out the portion size I usually use, transferred it to the cup, then drawn a line on the cup to mark the level that the ingredient should come to and marked whether is is for '40g porridge', '60g pasta' etc. I keep the cups in the bag/tub that the ingredients are stored to make them easy to find.

I've been meaning to do this for my breadmaker ingredients too. I hardly ever use the machine but have managed to crack the cup already and, in any case,the need to put wet ingredients in first, means that flour always sticks in the cup when I am in a hurry....so separate water and flour cups will be handy anyway...

Maybe this is something that could work for you?

I want to make a brioche in my MR FB, I've found a recipe on the web but not sure which setting to use, I assume the French bread setting is for those long type french stick types of bread? Should I use the speciality bread setting, the sweet bread, the sandwich bread or even just the basic white bread setting!?
