Making Half The Servings In A Recipe

Cutting a recipe in half won't affect the product. It might affect the cooking time though. Take note that exact measurements need in baking, but not usually in cooking. With cakes, you can shorten the time if placed in a smaller pan. A loaf that takes an hour may just take 10-15 mins if baked muffin tins. It's the same thing with roasting half a chicken instead of a whole one. Heat will penetrate a smaller product faster so it will cook faster. It might take a bit of trial and error to get the right time. If the recipe calls for less than 1 large egg, just beat the egg until it's well mixed. Let the bubbles settle and measure two tablespoons.
