Watch out: a UK pint is 20 fl oz (about 570 ml) but a US pint is 16 fl oz (about 473 ml). If a recipe is American, it is using the smaller pint.
Cups to grams
American recipes measure by volume. These are for a standard US cup (240 ml). A metric cup used in some British and Australian recipes is 250 ml, so it holds about 4% more.
