Unit 3: You Are What You Eat: Healthy Meal Planning
Question 4 • Nutrition and Wellness (IS)
Shaniqua wants to try her hand at making homemade scones. She finds a recipe from a British baker online, planning to follow the recipe exactly so that they come out just the way the author intended. That is when Shaniqua sees that the amount of flour is 210g and the amount of milk is 120 ml. Shaniqua looks at her measuring cups and spoons. Before she begins to prepare these scones, what does she need to do with the recipe?
Answer
A
Adjust the amount so that she gets a higher yield.
B
Convert the measurements into cups or ounces.
C
Find a substitution for the flour that is gluten-free.
D
See if she can calculate the nutritional value per serving.
Explanation
The recipe uses metric measurements: flour is given in grams and milk in milliliters. Since Shaniqua has measuring cups and spoons, she needs to convert those amounts to measurements her tools can measure, such as cups or ounces, before starting. Changing the yield, replacing the flour, or calculating nutrition is not necessary to follow the recipe.
