I would eat the cupcakes
ashmenon
Now that I now know how to bake, I can start a business & finally I'll be able to afford the microscope I'll need to read these.

Thanks for making me feel like I'm on Pinterest!

Ooooh I really want a chocolate cupcake now
DistractedBoyfriendIsAmerica
know what else has an open star? your mom.
Gizmophaze
so, when this hits the front page, can I have top comment? and a cupcake?
animalkah
Sounds good to me!
IStillLoveYouNintendo
half a teaspoon = .5 teaspoon. thank you for that. We all wondered.
RoboticKitty
But no where does it tell you how to measure flour.

Definitely need this as a person who loves baking.
animalkah
Just doing my part, Sir or Madam!

You're assuming I need help piping...
SirBrendan
How to halve, step 1) divide by two

from now on we can call it "Ateco805-post"...

One day I will bake. On that day this may be helpful

Grams.. I need the weight in grams please
iSpaceDuck
Well thanks to this post I was making pie crust at 4 am.

if you need to look at a chart to figure out that half of 2/3 is 1/3, I'd suggest you pass the third grade before you try cooking.
skelekittycat
I was more worried by 1tbsp being converted to 1.5tsp. Why not just... Half a tbsp.
ismith2
Harsh...but oh so true.

Can't coddle everyone forever. We would all turn out like Miranda

Have I stumbled into Pinterest?

I'd have baking powder more than i'd have cream of tartar. Plus baking powder is probably cheaper
PraisePotat
Brilliant. Favorited. Will forget in next 15min and rediscover years later. +1

Where's the piping tips?
MermanJack
So someone could technically be piping an apple pie and call it baking?
cutecharlieuniformnovembertango
So we seriously need a chart on how to halve things?
SluttyBreadsticks
i was so confused as well. aren't most (if not all) of those just basic fractions??
SharkLove
I'm still trying to figure out why I would ever want to bake half as much of a thing.
AFelineMassofEyes
It's good for when you're experimenting & don't wanna be stuck with a whole batch of something you might not fancy.
CrimsonGhost107
I came here hoping to learn the bagpipes. I was misinformed. There were no piping tips.
BIGBUTTSAREUS
I'll give u a piping tip: go for the bronze man

I love baking but screw you pie crust. Making the lattice look easy, fails to mention it will crack and break.
Ipodjunky
Yeah, if your dough is too dry. If it's done well, lattice crust is super easy.
Jawsmine
Don't judge: i use vegetable shortening instead of butter. Lard works even better, but you can feel your arteries closing.
Dontmesswithmypoopchute
Sounds like your dough is too dry!
akki14
or too cold possibly. the fat hardening when cold doesn't help flexibility either.
animalkah
OP is not responsible for individual results.
Kehy
Skip that, bake pies in muffin tins, use cookie cutters to make adorable airplane top crusts for them.
YallDunGoofed
Take responsability and post a good pie recipe then!
DaniaAudax
Make your dough a little thicker to stand up to being manipulated.
ijustwantausernamethatisnttaken
It's the consistency that causes cracking, not thickness.
DaniaAudax
I could show you how but you're there and I'm here
elbdms
A very workable and delicious crust is 2c flour, 1c shortening, 1/2 icy water. Mix to a coarse meal and let it rest in fridge for 1h.
prairiedogjedi
1 tbsp --> 1.5 tsp. Why not just use 1/2 tbsp measure??? Lol
kittydetonator
Is there a such thing as a 1/2 tbsp measure? I've never seen one but 3 tsp= 1 tbsp so it makes sense to me
prairiedogjedi
There most certainly is! I've used it many a time.
kittydetonator
Strange! We must have weird measuring spoons
BornToDoStuff
I have never seen half a tablespoon. That is really freaking weird. I always just filled up my tbsp halfway or used tsp.
CanWeTalkAboutThis
When you don't have baking powder but have cream of tartar lying around....
migraineinmyhead
It happens, I buy it, use it once then it sits in my pantry. I run out of baking powder quicker.
CanWeTalkAboutThis
Forgive my ignorance, what's it for?
animalkah
I believe you use in in meringue.
mynameisnotalice
Wow, I never realized that halving a recipe is a problem with imperial measures. I mean, we can even make a third or a seventh with ease!
Sebastiaan
same. mind blown. I very often do half or thirds of recipes when cooking alone or for 2
mynameisnotalice
Yeah, or scale them down to fit the rest of one of the ingredients I have left. So something like 32,7% of the original recipe.
BornToDoStuff
halving honestly isnt an issue if you can math, we just have dumb measurements, its not like they cant be halved too :P
mynameisnotalice
I'm not sure how you want to measure anything that isn't one of the static measuring cups.
BornToDoStuff
you can always half something that you have a measurement for even if its just filling that measurement halfway.
mynameisnotalice
Mine are half-spheres (not sure if they usually have a different shape, got them as a present), while one can half that with some (1)
mynameisnotalice
the 'little units' (3)
BornToDoStuff
this is true. Anything thats not 1/2 can be tricky I suppose. My measuring spoons are spoon shaped but my measuring cups are cylinders.
mynameisnotalice
practice I honestly don't know how to do a 3rd or something like that. Approximating volume is tricky. Also don't know how to do that for(2)
