Question

A recipe for one batch of KFC buttermilk biscuits calls for 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/3 cup vegetable shortening, and ⅔ cup buttermilk.

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

Original Doubled Ingredient

1½ c ⟶ 3 c all-purpose flour (2×1½ = 2×1 + 2×½ = 2+1 = 3)

1 tsp ⟶ 2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp ⟶ 2 Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp ⟶ 2 Tbsp baking powder

⅓ c ⟶ ⅔ c vegetable shortening

⅔ c ⟶ 1⅓ c buttermilk (2×⅔ = ⁴/₃ = 1⅓)
