In medieval England there were laws that related the price of bread to the price
of the wheat used to make it. Bakers who were found to be “cheating” their
customers by overpricing undersized loaves were subject to strict punishment,
including fines or flogging. Even with careful planning it is difficult to ensure
that all of your baked goods come out the same size; there may be fluctuations in
rising and baking and air content, and many of these bakers didn’t even have
scales to weigh their dough. For fear of accidentally coming up short, they would
throw in a bit extra to ensure that they wouldn’t end up with a surprise flogging
later. ID the popular idiom born from this.
