How do you double and triple this recipe like you did the original recipe? I miss the added feature on the recipe card.

Very easy to make. I halved the recipe and didn’t use the milk. I think the humidity of where I am got the dough to come together without added moisture. The consistency is not wet nor dry, just a perfect dough like texture. Will be making it again!
