This handy table will give you the measurement yields of dairy and fats. Measurement yields are really important to me when I am in my marathon of baking phases. I need to be as efficient as possible when I am trying to get a lot of baking done in a short period of time. The only way to do this is to plan effectively. I want to be able to make a mega shopping list of all ingredients that I will need and make just one trip to the grocery store. To make a good list you need to know how many units of something you will need in order to get the correct measurement for your recipes. For example I need to know that I will need to buy 3 pounds of butter in order to get the 6 cups that I will need for all of the cookie recipes that I will be making.

Ingredient Unit = Yield

Butter or Margarine 1 pound = 2 cups or 4 sticks

Butter or Margarine 1 stick = 8 Tbs

Cheese, Cottage 1 pound = 2 cups

Cheese, Shredded 4 ounces = 1 cup

Cream Cheese 8 ounces = 16 Tbs

Cream, Whipping 1 cup = 2 cups whipped

Frozen Whipped Topping 8 ounces = 3-1/2 cups

Shortening 1 pound = 2 cups
