    Yeah i’ve always defaulted to coriander, even in America, where most people have absolutely no idea what i’m talking about. It’s super weird

    I can't use American recipes for these reasons and also because they measure everything in 'cups'. What the fuck is a cup?

    Even worse is that, like their gallons/tonnes/pints/etc, their cups are different to imperial cups.

    A US cup is 237ml and an imperial cup is 284ml which needs to be watched if you have a US recipe.

    I always just use 250ml every time I see cup. Wild.

    Wouldn't different things weigh different amounts if you filled a cup with them?

    Yes, beyond “one cup” being imprecise and impossible to measure perfectly accurately, different things will compress into a cup differently, affecting the weight of the ingredients in your recipe. Weight is the superior method of measurement here.

    Yes but what if you are measuring weight at a different latitude than the person who wrote the recipe did? Then what?

    Your souffle might not rise in Quito the same way it rises in New York. Hold on, there's a joke in there somewhere...

    Made cupcakes today for the first time.

    Nearly lost a thumb due to inadvertent operation of an electric whisk, but a tremendous success otherwise.

    Distressing knowing what the ingredients are.

    Easier to shove 3 or 4 down your face when you’re blissfully unaware that it’s for the most part sugar and butter.

    They were always just 'cakes' because no cups were ever involved.

    Fairy cakes is acceptable. Cupcakes, no.
    It can go in the bin along with period for a full stop and calling a series of a TV show a season.

    Fairy cakes are the ones with a bit cut out, cut in half to make 'wings', the hole filled with jam and icing/cream and then the wings put back on top.



    Like so.

    Fairy/butterfly cakes. Although if you eat them with a fucking fork you can get in the bin with Mahow.

    You'd still call this a fairy/butterfly cake?



    The icing turns it into a cupcake for me.

    They’re buns with icing (note, not frosting) on them.

    To me a bun is more of a bread based thing.

    Buns are bread. Burger or iced.

    "Frosting" is a shit word.

    That fucking roll with some icing on is so British. It’s a hot dog bun with sprinkles.

    Interested what you guys call these.

    https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/415246028124033277/

    Only ever seen them in the highlands but that sort of iced bun thing above is similar.

    They’re bloody brilliant though.

    Looks like an iced bun of sorts, although if we can all get behind the name 'Dorset Knob' the world would be a better place.

    Fairy cakes are a kind of cupcake, aren't they? They have that little flourish on the top that distinguishes them from other cupcakes.
