| Cups are a measurement in America that is hard to change, because it depends very much on the substance how much it is in kilo or liters. Only trying out will work or someone in America will have to make the muffins for you but before throwing it in look at how much kilo/pounds it is  |

| Well, I don't know much about measuring cups . I only have 2 that I never used . AND I use the same cup for everything . I pick any glass in the kitchen , measure the dry ingrediants first so the glass will stay dry then I use it to measure the liquids. So ,April , maybe you can try it this way . I was really happy to tell about this recipe b/c it's so easy and yummy , I still hope it will work for you  |

| oh my, look what I've found!! conversions. I've just realised that the convertors I had used were no good, because they converted 1 cup into 230 grams. Now I've seen here that a cup OF ALL PURPOSE FLOUR equals to 125 grams. No wonder the dough was too hard!!!! I'll try again tonight and let you know if I got it right. Thanks girls, and Lina, the recipe was absolutely delicious, no problem at all. Only strange that it was so stiff, but the taste of the recent muffins was awesome.  |

| Drat - Guess I should read ALL the threads before I try to reply to any!! This not getting e-mail notices any more messes me up big time & I get behind fast!! I was just postulatin' elsewhere whether or not you were cookin' "in" or wandering down the road on Turkey Day! Anyhoo, doing it for 2 was always great for us aways back - I would fix a great BIG bird & we had snacks galore, no matter when we got hungry, for awhile! So roast away & enjoy!!! marie  |

| Yano...since I am staying at home I should go get a pie or two and some whipped cream. Yah...pecan and pumpkin. OMG! I just realized that I get to see the WHOLE Macy's Parade!!! And I can watch it in my jammies eating pie! I miss it every year due to football channel flipping and it was my favorite holiday opener as a kid. Santa at the end, lip synced Broadway shows, the Rockets, the Underdog balloon that always has one arm deflated. Okay...now I am excited. Pie, parade and peace. I can do this up right. |
