Dough and Batter Ratios Chart
Food writer Michael Ruhlman and his wife, Donna, put together a chart illustrating common dough and batter ratios to give a quick overview of how much flour, liquid, egg, fat or butter, and sugar goes into pasta, biscuits, pancakes, and more. Go to his blog to buy an 11-by-14-inch print of the chart for $20. He'll put up a PDF version later for those who want to print it at home.

Oh yay, a chart we can't see and have to pay for. Thanks!

@cool2bars — See Robyn's words above: "He'll put up a PDF version later for those who want to print it at home."
And from Ruhlman's site: "But: for those who are strapped right now, as I know so many are, we will eventually offer a PDF if you simply want the info and are fine with a copy from of your printer."

Very cool - I saw the book in a bookstore over the weekend and planned to buy it, although the chart might be even better!

Ruhlman is like a heroin dealer. I bought the book, I bought the scale. I have been looking for a scale that goes up to 15 pounds and the one he recommends My Weigh KD 8000 http://www.myweigh.com/node/2308 has baker features, a real find.

well ruhlman, i see no choice but to buy this book. and i'm not dying to spend the money either. thanks a LOT. i think it's actually insane that no one has thought of doing recipe "guides" as ratios before. most people want super-specific instructions but this allows us to experiment and in turn have way more flexibility than with a traditional cookbook. sigh, i guess i'll be looking at amazon later...
