My grandma's recipes were more along the lines of...baking powder in the deep of your palm, a small pinch of salt. (D’la poudre à pâte dans l’creux de ta main, une pincette de sel…)
When I said, "but Mammie, your palm is smaller than my palm" she said, "yes, yes, but put an approximate palm, you know, about the size of a palm." [shrugging-shoulders-e]
My other grandma, Granny, on the other hand, used precise measures, but managed to burn water, so to speak, so we never asked her for recipes. She was a hoot.
