But I’m lost with abbreviations in English… What is “c.” (3 c. of flour) ? What is “t.” (3 t. of margarine) ? What is “TB” (3 TB of butter) And what is “cu” (2/3 cu of warm milk) I suppose that “frig” means “fridge” but I’m not sure. Thank you !

It is a sort of gymnastics to convert weights, temperatures, lengths… ! “Cup” and “teaspoon” are good ideas for “cu” and “t.”, I’m going to see if it fits in with other quantities of the recipe… but tomorrow because I need to be in trim for such a thing !
