first things first.

as an ex-pat the metric system was no friend of mine.  i must've Googled 'how many grams in a stick of butter' a hundred times before it stuck.  here are some basic conversions to help ease the confusion!

1 stick of butter = 113 grams
1 cup of flour= 142g
*i always use plain flour, but if you need to make self rising from plain add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt to the plain flour

fahreinheit to celsius isn't actually complicated- a good rule of thumb is to halve the F temperature, so...
250 degrees F= 120C
350F = 180C
400F = 200C
