Scooping Guide:
The number of muffins, loaves or cakes that can be produced from one pail of batter depends on the scoop size and consistency in scooping. The grid above includes the approximate yields per 8 lb./9 lb. pail of batter (our technicians used the “side scrape” method for leveling off each scoop). Fat Free and Low Fat batters will result in a lighter product, but pail for pail will yield the same quantities as other batters.
