Depending on what you’re making, you can just cut everything in half (I always check if there is an even amount of eggs, that makes it easier)

Hi There 🙂 What about halving ingredients? For, say, a half batch of something?

Hi! This is really embarrassing for me but I’m horrible at fractions and I don’t always want to have to pull out a chest sheet!
So for example in my Boston crème recipe it calls for 1/4 cup sugar. If I wanted to double that (and the rest of the recipe.) do I just add another 1/4 cup sugar?
Thank you!!

I wouldn’t know without seeing and trying the recipe, but usually when I double a recipe I double everything.

I have a butter cookie recipe that calls for 2 tbsp of cornstarch. Should I double the amount of cornstarch if I want to double the recipe, or should I reduce it or use the same amount of cornstarch as the original recipe.

I usually just double everything when I double a recipe.

Help! Want to double my biscuit recipe. In comments, some say; double all ingredients. In other comments, some say ADJUST baking powder n baking soda.
Don’t know whom to believe. Please clarify. Thank You!
