RECIPE TOO BIG?

You want to make up a recipe, but there is only 3 of you and the recipe serves 6. You don’t have the room for leftovers right now.

You can take most recipes and divide them as needed. If the original recipe calls for one egg, and you are now dividing the recipe by 2, mix the egg well in a bowl. Measure the egg, then divide by 2. Keeping the part that you don’t need for an omelet or scrambled egg later.

Once the item is prepared, your baking pans should measure ½ the size of the original pan. You will leave the baking time approximately the same, although might want to start checking it about 5 minutes before it is done. Always leave your oven temperature the same.
