Hi Steve, thanks for your comment. You are correct that liquids should be measured in ml. 1 cup US is approximately 240ml. In the US it’s very common to use 250ml as a standard cup. In grams it actually depends on the liquid. The thinner totals about 240 to 249 grams. While not perfectly correct, I weigh everything into grams for my baking when using metric. If my dough is dry I’ll add a little more liquid to make it easier to handle. I hope that this helps, and if you give it a try let me know what you think.

When you switch from U. S to metric it’s confusing, and if you want to stick with metric, shouldn’t your liquids be in mls ?

So I would actually be using 2cups of buttermilk to make this bread w/o the Guinness. Correct???
