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. 🙂
