10. Kitchen Math
Often times with recipes, yields must be changed in order to ensure all will be fed. Doubling and Dividing recipes is quite common. Let’s do some practice!

11. Kitchen Math Practice Cookies Yield = 16 1 ¼ cup milk 3 cups flour
1 egg
7 teaspoons baking powder
3 Tablespoons butter
1/3 cup syrup
¼ teaspoon salt
350 d F
1 Tablespoon Sugar
10 minutes
Divide Double
Yield =
Flour = 1 ½ c cups
B. Powder = 3 ½ tsp tsp.
Salt = 1/8 tsp ½ tsp.
Sugar = ½ T. or 1 ½ tsp T. or 1/8 c.
Milk = ½ c. + 2 Tbsp. or ½ c. + 1/8 c. 2 ½ c. or 2 c. + 8 T.
Egg = ½ egg eggs
Butter = 1 ½ Tbsp Tbsp. or ¼ c. + 2 T.
Syrup = 1/6 c. or 2 T. + 2 t. or 2 ½ T. + 1 tsp. 2/3 c.
Temp = Same Same
Time = Same Same

12. Kitchen Math Practice Muffins Yield = 12 2/3 cup milk 3/4 cups flour
2 egg
2 teaspoons baking powder
