Would really appreciate converted amounts including the complete amount that 2 quarts makes

Would be really useful to know how many portions this list of ingredients actually makes (counting that small Staub pan as one portion).

A busy restaurant chef doesn’t have to worry about making too much batter. She knows she’ll use it all. But regular people at home often cut larger ingredient quantities in half or even more, depending on what’s considered an actual portion. Eight eggs sounds like a lot!
