How to write a recipe
13 years ago
I've noticed a general lack of consistency with recipes here on FA and a few pointers came to mind.
1. write your ingredients in order of use.
Example: if your instructions say to sift flour, salt and baking soda together then add eggs, please put your ingredients list as:
(amount of) flour
(amount of) salt
(amount of) baking soda
(number of) eggs
Do NOT put the salt on the bottom where someone may miss it if they're not extremely careful.
2. Say the stupid steps.
If someone has never used the recipe before they don't know the quirks of the ingredients. PLEASE list all steps even if you put in a star and say at the bottom that you did something weird and it worked.
3. If something looks weird part way through but still worked anyway, make a note of it.
Someone who is unfamiliar with a recipe may not know something that you learned part way through. Be nice to them and explain that it looked weird but still worked!
4. list all equipment above ingredients
Not everyone has the equipment from your kitchen, be kind to them and explain everything you use (silverware to level need not be listed, that's personal preference.

Also do you have the recipes for the Kamikaze Cupcakes?
I'm sorry I do not feel comfortable with posting the recipe for the Kamikaze Cupcakes because I did not create it or find it online, and it was in a book titled "Booze Infused Cakes"
