I live overseas where my oven won't accommodate any pan larger than an 8x8. Would I need to half the recipe, or just bake it in two batches? I'm not sure how to convert a 9x13 recipe into a 8x8. Ideally I'd rather make the full recipe and bake two batches but don't know if it can be done.
You could bake this in 2 batches. The baking time may be a bit quicker. To scale down this type of recipe, I find it easiest to use the surface area of the pans. And 8X8 is 46% smaller. That is how much you would need to reduce the recipe by for a "perfect" fit. Round it to 50%, so diving the batter in half is just fine. Give it a try. Frank @ KAF.
