Hi Tanya, I have a question for you...I'm from the US, so when a recipe calls for 1 or 2 sticks of butter I know what that means...but here in Dubai butter is sold by grams...100, 200, etc...this you know...so how do you convert? The 100 gram 'stick' looks like our 1/2 cup stick, but I'm sure its not equivalent....how are you resolving this with your recipes?!? By the way this recipe looks YUM but holy **** 6 sticks of butter LOL!!! Sounds like Paula Dean's heaven :)
So a 'stick' of butter is 'approx' 110gms - but the measurement I use for this recipe is 1/2 cup - which is the equivalent of the stick too. I know it is a HEAP of butter, the quantity it makes is really quite big - I have used it for a 4 tier layer cake, and still had enough leftover to make a short based pastry caramel pie with the buttercream on top, sprinkled with almonds and chocolate... When I make this cream, I don't like any to go to waste! So have to make another dessert if there are any leftovers.. hehehe
Hmm thinking I might have to do some cooking now...
