I realky, really wish the ingredient amounts were converted. I am wanting to make this recipe, I am not an exsperienced baker. I am having the hardest time finding how to convert to cups. So disapointed!

I tried a conversion chart. Not sure how accurate my measurements were. Also I’m assuming 125 Sugar means 125 Grams of sugar?
The dough came out flaky. It is sitting in the fridge now. Will update tomorrow.
Thank you. I have made these three times since and just love them. The recipe is quite easy and I can make them in a flash now
