So I have a recipe for MRE milkshake powder, and it's listed out in percentages by weight. How can I convert that to conventional recipe measure (cups, T, tsp, etc) so I don't need a damned scale like some hoodrat mad scientist cooking up some Jenny Crank Diet Pills? I'd rather not get a table spoon out and weigh a tablespoon of each and multiple it all out. And to hell with the metric system for listing shit in grams, too, just for good measure. I'm pretty sure we won that war so we wouldn't have memorize twenty different orders of magnitude for every type of measurement. Sixteen ounces of any fluid weighs a pound. See? Simple. Ingredients include nonfat dry milk powder, dry coffee creamer, whey protein powder, starch, etc that presumably all have different densities. I don't really care what recipe is for total amount, I can scale after it's in conventional measure. I thought about just making the largest percentage ingredient two cups, and going with weighted averages from there but the densities has me concerned because that's going to change the volumes. Suggestions? |

45.3% nonfat dry milk 27.3% non-dairy creamer 18.1% powdered sugar 4.5% sweet dairy whey 2.7% instant starch 1.8% calcium caseinate 0.29% flavors That is for strawberry, in % by weight. Chocolate is slightly different. Density is complicating here. You can compact the ingredients which affects the measurements. |
