Question

You’re making 40 servings of English custard. Each serving is 250 ml. The following recipe yields 2 L.

Calculate how much of each ingredient you will need to make enough servings of the custard.

Milk 2 L

Vanilla essence 4 ml

Sugar 200 g

Egg yolks 20

Answer 1

Milk 10 L

Vanilla essence = 20 ml

Sugar = 1kg

Egg yolks 100 yolks

Explanation:

2l/250ml = 8 servings per recipe ,

40 servings/8 = 5 "batches"

Milk 2 L * 5 = 10 L

Vanilla essence 4 ml * 5 = 20 ml

Sugar 200 g * 5 = 1000g = 1kg

Egg yolks 20 * 5 = 100 yolks
