What is the deal with this R*ddit meme that "dude, baking is a science! You have to follow the recipe exactly!"? As long as you know what to look for in a dough or batter, you can mix, match, substitute, and do all sorts of things to your hearts' content. Why must these retards ruin everything good and decent?

Maybe just grow the fuck up and do your own thing and stop blaming your failures on internet bullshit. That'd be a start.

I don't know, but it's definitely not science and you always need to adjust. Is the egg too small or too big? Is the climate to humid? You will need to adjust something on the recipe.

There's room for error in baking, but it's usually tighter than other forms of cooking. Altitude, ambient temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure aren't going to do much to change how a roast with veggies comes out, but even something as simple as yorkshire pudding can come out flat or chewy because of the air in and around your oven. This kind of delicacy means that, yeah, if you dick with the recipe, you're not getting that ideal product the author spent some trial and error on.

Anything using ambient heat to incorporate air into flour or eggs, relying on a structure of bubbles to set before they collapse, is going to be a bit of a delicate process. You can always mess with a recipe, but your results of playing around with chicken yakitori have a better chance of being both edible, and yakitori than an improv souffle does of coming out as a souffle.

I have never made a "mistake" when baking, that I hear so much about.
