Those weights work out to roughly these U.S. volume measurements:

SPONGE KISSES - POWER CREAM PUFFS

2 medium eggs (4-oz)
1/2 cup (4-oz) granulated sugar
1/4 pound (4-oz) (8-Tbs) butter
1 cup (4-oz) self rising flour (or 1 cup flour + 2 tsp baking powder)
3/4 cup (4-oz) cornflour (cornstarch)
a few drops of lemon essence (lemon extract)
