I know you are doing that shit. Making a recipe from some website and it’s more than you can eat and end up throwing shit away. Or worse, microwaving leftovers like some redneck. When then right-wing death mobs come around you’ll be screwed and will have to trade your booty hole for a can of beans. Waste = right-wing raped booty hole.

You must convert all recipes to proportional weights (Baker’s percentages, essentially). Take a simple biscuit recipe done like this. Figure out the weights of the ingredients and call the largest weight 100%. Then see what percentage of that weight all the other ingredients are. Like so:

All purpose flour, 2 cups → 250g (grams) → 100%
Baking Powder, 1 Tbs. → 13.8g → 5.5%
Salt, ½ tsp → 3.04g → 1.2%
Shortening, ½ cup → 102.5g → 41%
Milk, ¾ cup → 183g → 73%

Back Scale: 45.3%

Starting a recipe with 150 grams of flour? How much shortening to use? Easy 150 x .41 = 62 grams (about). Do that for the other ingredients.

Want to *end up* with exactly one-half pound of biscuit dough? That is where Back Scale comes in. ½ lb = 226 grams. So 226 x .452 = 102 grams. So you’ll start with 102 grams for your 100% weight (flour in this case) and figure weights out from there. Result? 226 grams of dough.

Shortening? in biscuits?

Just eat it later?

Sure the math is easy but it's even easier to just eat the same thing again but later.

That is some Euro stuff there. allrecipes.com lets you adjust stuff as well. I find weight measure is easier for messy ingredients.

it is straight up wrong to measure liquids by weight.

Why?

density, ya dope

Actually it's quite the reverse. 100 ml of water weighs 100g. 100ml of coca cola weighs 111g. That can make a big difference in certain applications.

So? Any nutjob can adjust by 1/1.1 for milk etc.
>>
but don't bakers also care about wet and dry ratios?
>>
>>9347572
SOMEONE MAKE THIS

Why are you converting units of volume (cups, teaspoons, tablespoons) to units of mass (grams)? If you're doing recipes in metric, shouldn't all of your measurements be in milliliters and liters?
>>
I have no idea what you're talking about but me saving a cup of flour in a month is nothing compared to the amount of food my local mcdonalds threw in the dumpster last night along with a gallon of bleach just to make sure no one could make use of it

If your bowl is already on scales, why bother getting a measuring jug out?
