Changing the Yield of a Recipe

1.  Divide the desired yield by the recipe's original yield.
     Do this whether increasing or decreasing a yield.

     Decrease
     original yield is 12 servings; desired yield is 6 serving;
     6 divided by 12 equals 0.5 or 1/2

     Increase
     original yield is 4 servings; desired yield is 7 serving;
     7 divided by 4 equals 1.75 or 1-3/4

2. Multiply each ingredient amount by the result in step 1.

     Decrease
     original amount is 1/2 c.;
     1/2 times 1/2 equals 1/4c as the new amount.

     Increase
     original amount is 1/2c.;
     0.5 times 1.75 equals 0.88c as the new amount.

3. Convert the measurements into logical, mangeable amounts.

     Decrease
     1/4c.  easy to measure with equipment

     Increase
     1/2c equals 4 oz.;
      4 oz. times 1.75 equals 7oz. or 3/4 c. plus 1/8 c.;
      or 3/4c plus 2 tablespoons

4. Make any adjustments in equipment, temperature and cooking time.
