The prompt

Here’s a recipe: . It serves and I need it to serve . Rewrite the ingredient list at the new size, in the recipe’s own units, rounded to amounts I can really measure, like whole eggs and level spoonfuls. Don’t just multiply everything. Tell me what doesn’t scale in a straight line here, such as salt, spices, leavening, liquid that has to reduce, pan size and cooking time, and give me your adjusted version of each with a one-line reason. Mark anything you’re unsure about so I can taste or test as I go. If it would be better made in separate batches, say so.
