Ingredient Reductions

This chart is in response for those who have asked how do I decrease a recipe. The numbers in each list corresponds with each other. Example - If the recipe calls for 1 cup (#1 in Original Amount) go to #1 in the Half of Recipe column. If you want to make 1/3 of the recipe go to #1 under One-Third of Recipe to convert 1 cup. Hope this helps.
