All grams or all ounces tends to be quoted when a recipe has been scaled down from a larger or even a huge amount. The idea is to treat the biggest ingredient as the base number and measure everything else as a percentage of it.

The tart looks nice, if a little sweet for me. I'd quite fancy it with a prune sauce - for some reason I can't quite put my finger on...

I'm not sure what the question is, but I agree with jeral, that has the air of a recipe scaled down from a bulkbrecipe made in a commercial kitchen

I could make that using my electronic scales to follow it exactly,but usually recipes scaled down for a domestic cook have the amounts rounded off and are tested after rounding

The fact that there's no rounding in that makes me suspect it hasn't been tested in the small scale version, a known issue with cheffy recipes

I note that 27 g egg is basically half a large egg

Unless the recipe has been tested and adapted for domestic use it is unlikely to work since the measurement will alter the cooking time as while it will be the same depth the width and length will be different. This can be a real problem if it needs a certain time for a filling to set.
