I developed my own recipe for peanut butter cookies, and all of the ingredient measurements are predicated around using an entire jar of peanut butter because I refuse to measure out peanut butter. The downside is that this results in 120-200 cookies depending on how big I make them and it takes a while to get all of them through the oven.
Also, who in the metric hell measures grams with decimals? No recipe ever tells you to add 14.xy of something. Everything is rounded, usually around 5 or 10 grams.
650g of flour, 500g of sugar (one small pack), 400g of mascarpone, 250g butter (one pack), 500g of fresh raspberries, 8 (unsterilized, room temperature) eggs, 2 packets of baking powder, 2 vanilla pods = 30 delicious muffins. No decimals or fractions needed :)
Ya know, I debated rounding the conversion. Figured someone would “ackshually” it. So I rounded it to two places and someone still complained. Can’t win. It’s a meme. Chill out.
By the way, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter does not weigh 14.79 grams. 1 US tablespoon is a unit of volume that’s equal to 14.79 milliliters(mils). Grams are a unit of mass. In order to convert between them we need the density. Because the metric system is great, the density of water is 1g/mil, so 1 US tablespoon of water weighs exactly 14.79 mils. However the density of peanut butter is a bit higher, so the US tablespoon of peanut butter will weigh a bit more.
Additional pedantry, yes I did have to write US tablespoon every time. A US tablespoon is 14.79mils, a metric tablespoon is 15mils, a traditional Australian tablespoon was 20mils although now they mostly use metric tablespoons.
