Small-Batch
Baking by Debby Maugans Nakos is a book designed for people who don't want (or need) a dessert for ten every time
they want something sweet. All the recipes in the book are scaled to make mini batches: two individual cheesecakes, a
half-dozen cookies, a dozen cream puffs. There are over 250 such recipes in Small-Batch Baking, including not only
cookies and cakes, but cobblers, puddings, pies and breads. The proportions are exactly right for one or two-person
households or for small families who don't want their kitchens to be continually filled with leftovers. Nakos gets
creative with her baking tools, too, calling for mini layer cakes to be baked in empty aluminum cans and other treats
to be baked in individual ramekins instead of full-sized bakeware. The only downside is that you often have to use part
of an egg in a recipe rather than the whole thing, but using an egg substitute can solve that problem in a snap.
