Equivalents

Measuring equivalents and other aids to estimating quantities needed. These tend to come in handy when you have a recipe that requires something like 40 cups of flour and you don't know if you need a 5-pound or 10-pound bag. They're only estimates, remember to buy about 10% extra just in case.

All-purpose flour	1 pound	3 1/2 to 4 cups
Cornmeal	1 pound	3 cups
Brown sugar	1 pound	2 1/4 cups, packed
Confectioner's Sugar	1 pound	about 3 3/4 cups
Granulated Sugar	1 pound	2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups
Egg Whites	1 cup	8-10 whites
Egg Yolks	1 cup	12 to 14 yolks
Honey	16 ounces	1 1/3 cups
Graham Crackers	14 squares	1 cup crumbs
Saltine Crackers	28 crackers	1 cup crumbs
Vanilla Wafers	22 wafers	1 cup crumbs
