I'm looking at some lovely Cookies in a Jar recipes that I fancy giving as Christmas presents in nice jars  ... but they are from an US site and I'm in need of some translations   All Purpose Flour? .... Plain or Self Raising? Baking soda? ..... Bicarbonate of Soda or Baking Powder? Is a stick of butter 1oz/28g? And last .... can we even buy corn syrup over here? |

baking soda is definitely not baking powder (two very different things) so I'd say bicarbonate of soda (though I'm not positive what that is  )believe all purpose flour is plain but will try and double check that with you not sure on the oz to grams though as math is not my strong suit |

sorry  I forgot to come back to thisquickly googled and it says 1 stick of butter equals 4 ounces or 1/4 pound? not sure how accurate that is, if I had a stick of butter I'd weigh it but we don't usually have that around the house these days |
