Sometimes these old recipes can be intimidating. I found this one years ago in an old cookbook of my grandma's. With the aid of the internet its easy to ask even AI to convert the ingredients if needed. For example, 1 cup of granulated sugar weighs approximately 7.05 ounces (about 200 grams), and the amount of shredded coconut you get from one small coconut can vary, but generally, you can expect to get around 2 to 3 cups of shredded coconut from a small to medium-sized fresh coconut. Additionally In the U.S., a standard stick of butter is 1/4 pound, 4 tbsp, 2 ounces or 57 grams.
Hope you'll look at old recipes with a bit more ease and consult the internet for answers when looking at recipes. I used Gemini AI in this case to get the answers to my questions answered for this post.
