How do I figure banana pudding for 150 people?
One 9 by 13 pan serves 8-10 people. If you want to serve 150 people, you will need at least 15 pans.
Choose a banana pudding recipe-divide each ingredient by the number of servings for the recipe. Then just multiply each ingredient by 150.
I have made banana pudding for many years but not always with the same type of ingredients. Maybe you have a special recipe or are you looking for a simple recipe also?
Here is a very basic (but delicious) recipe for 50 people that can be expanded to 150 very easily:
A nutrition book I have from my college days says a serving of pudding is 3/4-1 cup per person.
there are cooks and bakers who use a formula to calculate these things. One is:
New amount x portion size / old amount x portion size = conversion factor
take the conversion factor and multiply every ingredient in the original recipe.
ie. (500 x 2) / (20 x 5) = 10 take the 10 and multiply the original amounts. spices/salt have to be adjusted more when the factor is bigger.
