I cut this recipe to 1/3

Banana Bread/Muffins Recipe

3 ripe bananas, 1 egg, ¼ cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 ½ cups flour.

I only used 1 1/2 bananas and 1 cup of flour when I made my muffins.

*Bake 1 hour at 325
Empanada Recipe
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/266134/authentic-empanada-pastry-dough/
I think I cut this in 1/4 and used 1 egg to add 1/2 egg to dough and then egg wash the top prior to baking.

I didn't have enough flour to make more, so I rolled out my dough fairly thin for the empenada. It was so thin that I would not have been able to fry it, I had to bake it, which I preferred anyway...but I am also curious about the texture difference if I would have fried it.

I can't really say how great this recipe was because I don't have any reference point. I used the empenada dough to make my pot pie.

Flour Tortillas

I think I cut this in 1/4. I'll check my notes and footage and update this tomorrow if needed.
These definitely would have been better if I had enough ingredients to follow the recipe because my tortillas were very thin...but still delicious!
