Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I double a recipe?
Use the recipe scaler with original servings = 4 and desired servings = 8 (or any 1:2 ratio).
Should I scale baking recipes differently?
For baking, it's often better to scale ingredients by weight in grams rather than volume, as some ingredients may not scale perfectly by simple multiplication.
