How to Multiply a Recipe

Formula

Scale Factor = Desired Servings / Original Servings

New Amount = Original Amount x Scale Factor

Multiply every ingredient by the same scale factor. Be cautious with leavening agents (baking powder, yeast) when scaling above 3x, as they may not scale linearly.

Ejemplo Resuelto

Scale a recipe from 4 servings to 12 servings. An ingredient is 2 cups.

  1. Scale factor: 12 / 4 = 3.
  2. New ingredient amount: 2 x 3 = 6 cups.
  3. Multiply all other ingredients by 3 as well.
