Somewhere in my youth I picked up the ability to look at a baking recipe and determine whether it was What I Wanted or not. I don’t know how I do this, but I’ve innumerable times gone looking for a recipe for this or that thing and gone through five or ten or more recipes for it before I found one that looked right.
