3/4 pints in a measuring cup equals?
I'm using a recipe that calls for 3/4 pint of heavy cream, but my measuring cup only measures in cups. Can someone help me with the conversion? How many cups is 3/4 pint?

It is important to remember that British cooking measures are different to American cooking measures. In both systems a basic measure is the cup, which is half a pint. But as the pint is different in the two countries, so is the cup – remember, there are 16 fluid ounces to the pint in the US, and 20 in the UK. The two fuild ounces are, however, close enough to make no difference in practice. To make things more interesting, it would appear that in the US it is normal to use ‘cup’ measures for what in the UK would be weighed in ounces etc. To convert properly between the two implies a knowledge of the density of the ingredient being measured. My advice is to measure according to the recipe, remembering that the size of the cup is different.
