I only made 2 or 3 goofs like this in my early 20s until I learned that swapping stuff around is a FAFO activity. I will change up the amount of ingredients after a successful first recipe.
But like a Canadian Youtube mechanic once said ..... 'If you don't fuck around, how are you ever going to find out?"
I guess learning from other people's mistakes is off the table, eh?
He's not a very bright mechanic .... but he does get things to work ... most of the time

Goldwrenching?
More specifically, make sure you know WHY an ingredient is there and what it's providing before trying substitutes, because different substitutes work for different reasons.
