Use the main action when needed. Scale factor = target servings ÷ original servings. Each quantity is multiplied by the same factor.

A recipe for four scaled to ten uses a multiplier of 2.5 for every ingredient.
Check the assumptions
Seasoning, raising agents, pan size and cooking time do not always scale linearly, so adjust with judgement.
