Bakers Weekly Recipes

Not a cookbook — a trade manual. Recipes in hundredweights of flour, for the professional baker of 1922.

The Batch Scaler

Bakers Weekly formulas weigh in pounds because weight is the only measure that repeats. Choose a formula and how far to divide it, and the scaler brings the bakehouse down to your counter — with rough cup equivalents where they help.

Where the book prints a range, the smaller figure is used. Cup equivalents are approximate — the book would tell you to buy a scale.
