things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of milk?
  Roughly 14 g for whole milk. That's the working unit when a recipe says 'add milk one tablespoon at a time' — usually for icings, glazes, or scone doughs where you're chasing a specific texture. A tablespoon is also the standard splash for scrambled eggs or an omelet, where it loosens the curd without making it watery.
• How much milk do I add to scrambled eggs?
  About 1 tablespoon (14 g) per egg is the common ratio for softer, looser curds. Some cooks skip the milk entirely on the grounds it dilutes flavor, while others go up to 2 tablespoons per egg for a custardy result. More than that and the eggs weep liquid in the pan as the proteins set.
• Will a tablespoon of milk thin royal icing enough?
  Often yes — royal icing is so concentrated that 1 tablespoon (14 g) of milk per cup of icing sugar moves it from stiff-peak to flood consistency. Add it half a tablespoon at a time, because once icing is too thin you have to rebuild with more sugar. Whole milk works, though water or lemon juice are more common.
