I’m making Chef Chaya’s crumb cake recipe which calls for 1/2 box of lady fingers. I got a bulk box, so I’m not sure approximately how many lady fingers that is. Anyone know?

I’m sure you meant to be helpful but your last line was totally unnecessary. No need to put someone down for no reason.

A regular box is 4 ounces so if you have a scale you can just weigh out 2 ounces.

See? Another example of shoddy recipe writing. The writer needs to specify actual measurements, as the size of "a box" changes over time and varies from brand to brand. What a true professional would write is "one four-ounce box" or just "four ounces."

A box says 5 lady fingers per serving, 4 servings for box. That makes 20 lady fingers per box.
I guess you need 10 lady fingers for your recipe, that lists half a box.

Agreed.
