Measurements

Since New Zealand has a unique way of measuring ingredients for baking, I'm clarifying each measurement into metric units.

Below are the measurements used in this blog:

1 cup = 250ml
1/2 cup = 125ml
1/3 cup = 83.3ml
1/4 cup = 62.5ml

1 tablespoon = 15ml
1 teaspoon = 5ml
1/2 teaspoon = 2.5ml
1/4 teaspoon = 1.25ml

It is best to weigh your ingredients if possible, especially flour. Since the humidity each day differs it affects the volume of the flour (it absorbs moisture), and thus using a cup to measure flour would result in different quantities each time. Weighing your flour not only gives you an accurate quantity, but it can also ensure your baking is accurate, reducing mistakes. :)
