For example, in a recipe that calls for 10 pounds of flour and 5 pounds of water, the corresponding baker's percentages are 100% for the flour and 50% for the water.

Dry bulk ingredients, such as sugar and flour, are measured by weight in most of the world ("250 g flour"), and by volume in North America ("1 ⁄ 2 cup flour"). Small quantities of salt and spices are generally measured by volume worldwide, as few households have sufficiently precise balances to measure by weight.
A mug that has markings up to 350 ml. Measuring cups usually have capacities from 250 mL (1 metric cup) to 1,000 mL (4 metric cups; about 2·11 US customary pints (1·06 US customary quarts) or 1·76 British imperial pints (0·88 British imperial quart)), though larger sizes are also available for commercial use.

[ citation needed ] A cheese's fat content is expressed as the percentage of fat in the cheese's dry matter (abbreviated FDM or FiDM), which excludes the cheese's ...
Varying the ratio of liquid and flour in a basic pasta dough may create a softer dough like that used for the German soup noodle spaetzle. [8] Eggs are a very common addition to make the dough moist and easier to roll out. The dough can be filled or shaped various ways and boiled, baked, steamed or fried. [9] [10]
The fat content of milk is the proportion of milk, by weight, [1]: 266 made up by butterfat. The fat content, particularly of cow 's milk, is modified to make a variety of products. The fat content of milk is usually stated on the container, and the color of the label or milk bottle top varied to enable quick recognition.
Wheat milling yield is the percent of flour obtained from a given unit of whole wheat kernels (flour yield or flour extraction rate), averaging 70-75% in the United States [clarification needed]. Rice milling yield is the amount of polished white rice obtained from husked rough rice (yields of brown rice are higher).
Butter spread on a crumpet. The word butter derives (via Germanic languages) from the Latin butyrum, [5] which is the latinisation of the Greek βούτυρον (bouturon) [6] [7] and βούτυρος. [8]
