    Hi, thanks for the great recipe. I was looking for a basic muffin recipe quite a while and at last found it here. Thanks. <3
    Can I check with you
    1. 1 cup is equal to how many gram?
    2. For the canola oil can I substitute with butter?
    3. Can I use plain flour instead of self raising flour.

    Thanks for advice.
    Cheers. 🙂
