Reduce the recipe servings

 

At time I have struggled with reducing my recipes to half its exact amount and it can be frustrating at times. Reducing a recipe is not hard but it seems difficult to convert when you are in a middle of a recipe. So here is a handy chart which I always keep it posted on my display board just in case.
