Night record

Planning here works on its own. Once a night starts, it travels between the three tools by itself.

Cooking notes

Church Fan: toasted pecan, lemon and bourbon highball

Serve it small and serve it twice. Pecan tea seven minutes at 350°F, then stop. Soda at the pour. Salted pecans and a plate of pimento cheese with crackers.

Base recipe

This is the base recipe: one batch, 8 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.

What does not scale

Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.

Cooking time
7 minutes in the oven, whatever fraction of the tray is filled. A half-full tray browns faster, so look at it sooner rather than trusting the clock.
What job it does

Can be finished a day ahead.

Method
  1. Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for church fan: toasted pecan, lemon and bourbon highball, not a certified kitchen test.
  2. Amounts below are one batch: 8 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
  3. Can be completed up to 1 day ahead. One batch takes about 1 fridge shelf-thirds while it waits.
  4. No heat. Assemble from cold ingredients. Keep covered until service.
  5. Hold time is short (8 min). Finish close to service. Do not guess a longer hold.
  6. Leftover route: Pecan tea three days. Still batch four hours. Soda per glass.
  7. Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Make-ahead

Can be completed up to 1 day ahead. One batch takes about 1 fridge shelf-thirds while it waits.

Scaling

Base recipe: one batch, 8 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: 7 minutes in the oven either way.

Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
