That's the way I'm generally doing it--listing the ingredient twice
with the relevant quantities. I wasn't entirely sure it was
necessary, so your comment is useful.
Sometimes I do, perhaps usually I should, include the quantity in the
instructions as well as in the ingredient list, just to make it clear
which batch of salt or whatever goes in when. And sometimes I specify
"2 T more oil" in the ingredient list to make it clearer.
