Well I am posting from the US but I am originally from Australia.

How is this for interesting - if you look below the "Weight Measures" in that same Conversion Tables website, it says that the standard British tablespoon holds 17.7 ml, Australian 20 ml and US 14.2 ml! Who knew?

I made a "no cook" jam, just incase anyone is wondering. Yummy!

I grew up on lamb and love it. I don't like pork so this substitution would never work for me. Funny, I always thought lamb was more like beef than pork when I was growing up. I would probably substitute chicken just because I like the taste better, not because it would work better with the...

Thanks to everyone for their input and the welcomes :) Here is what I ended up doing. I used 1/2 cup of blueberry yogurt instead of the pie filling. Since it was fat-free, I added an extra tablespoon of butter. I am eating a muffin hot out of the oven right now and it is delicious! Perhaps...

Oooh, thanks for the recipe. I have more blueberries so I will give them a shot this afternoon. Have you ever tried using blueberry yogurt instead of the pie filling? I see you suggest just using extra milk but I was wondering if yogurt might work since I have a tub of blueberry in my fridge...

Thanks. Yes there are differences. I never correct for them LOL. I don't make too many recipes from Australia any more. Just the occasional pavlova, Christmas pudding and shortbread. I don't know what the difference in the cup measure is (to me a cup is 250 ml). As for the tablespoon...

Thank you. I really did feel a bit stupid asking because I come from nowhere as exotic as the locations you have suggested, and English is my first language - I am Australian. It is quite amazing how many little differences there are in our cooking "language" and in the ingredients...

Thank you. It seemed the right thing to do at the time. The topping was still too crumbly though. Seems like there was a bit too much dry to wet ingredients.

Sorry, I thought my third point in my original post made it clear that I was making a crumble topping for muffins. The instructions told me to mix the dry ingredients, add the butter (which was listed in the ingredients exactly as I described above) and mix with a fork. Then sprinkle over muffins.

Thank you for the answers. So, how does one "sprinkle" one cm cubes over the muffins? It was a mix of sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter. Should I have just scooped out one cube, along with a bunch of the dry ingredients and dumped one on top of each muffin? The muffins aren't as good as...

Hi All, I probably should have introduced myself before posting a question but I was an eager beaver and jumped ahead of myself. I am an Ausamerican - or a dualie as we say in Australia. I am an Australian living in the US and I just recently became a US citizen too. I love to cook but don't...

Hello, I stumbled upon these forums while trying to google some cooking information. I feel really stupid asking these questions because I know how to cook and I know how to improvise. I am just not 100% sure what everything means in an American cookbook. So I have some yummy muffins baking...
