Pro tip: my grandma's meatball recipe fell apart totally until I realized I was using too much breadcrumb

I was at my kitchen counter last Tuesday after three failed batches, staring at a crumbly mess, and figured out that a half cup instead of a full cup of panko plus a splash of milk kept them together, anyone else run into ratio issues with old family recipes?

Oh man, I totally feel your pain. I ruined like four batches of my abuela's tamales before I figured out the masa to liquid ratio was way off. It's so frustrating when the measurements just don't work the way they used to.

Check your masa brand too, different ones need different amounts of liquid.
