Ignoring Various Quantities
If you don’t have the exact amount of a certain ingredient for a recipe, you might get away with it! But not all recipes are made equal.
Take baking, for example. Those quantities aren’t open to discussion. They’ve been calculated with the greatest care, so adding more or less flour, sugar, yeast, butter or eggs will completely transform your recipe.
In the worst-case scenario, you will have wasted hours baking something that just turns out wrong on every level!
