How to Half a Recipe

[L_B]

Most of you probably already know this but I came across this chart and I thought it was very helpful when not wanting to make a full recipe.

Useful I think , especially if you use cup measures. But there is a typo (not your typo @L_B!): 1 tablespoon - 1/12 teaspoon. I think that should be 1 & 1/2 teaspoons.

Not all desert recipes can be halved or doubled successfully ,I've found in the past.

My dad has a BBQ recipe which we've been trying to do 1/5th of. Whilst this is obviously not what we need, this is a good start. Haha, this is such good timing honestly. My dad literally called me an hour ago to ask how he should portion the recipe. Thank you for this! Will try and come back if it was useful for my dad.

I make a good guess sometimes when the maths confuses me. Not my favourite subject. I've only ever done this with baking and cups remain cups. I am not going from cups to tablespoons, I would be there all day.
