    I've always used the 250ml equals one cup. What gets me is tablespoons!!! I've always thought 1TBS= 15g. But looking at the database here it can range anywhere from 6g to 20g. I hate, hate ,hate when recipes call for TBS measures as they seem to differ wildly :rage:

    That's why I try to get recipes that are written out by weight, not cups/spoons.

    Easier said than sometimes. .

    That's why I said try. I know it's not always easy but I try to get a recipe that weighs out ingredients if possible. Especially since I bake and baking is all about precision.

    Make your own. You only have to do it once per recipe Easy peasy.
