IN this recipe , it is divided into 6 servings, but why is the calulator showing the sugar
as 0 sugar, when it works out to 1 tsp or 4 grams of sugar per person.?

Any ideas??


6tbsp of cornstarch
24 tsp of white sugar
3 egg yolks
6 tbsp real lemon
1 tbsp coconut oil

    Mistake in the listing for the sugar or the amount you have selected.

    I am having a similar problem. I am trying to add a cookie recipe and I want to use "cups" of flour and sugar. I can't translate this into teaspoons which looks like my only choice. Right?

    Use weight, far more accurate anyway.

    Recheck for entry. 24 tsp divides by 6= 4 tsp or 2 Tablespoons.

    Thanks everyone I tried using a different white sugar, and it now calculated correctly.
