How Much Would You Change A Recipe...

...before comfortably calling it your own? It seems like I alter most of the recipes I come in contact with, but I don't know when I'm allowed to finally call them MINE, ya know?
So, what do you guys think? How much of myself do I need to put into it before I can, in good faith, call it my own?
I think maybe 40% - 50% to be on the safe side. I know exactly what you mean because that's what I do with alot of my recipes too.
Some member, on here, a long, long time ago, wrote that you need to make 4 changes to a recipe before you can call it your own.
I don't make that many changes before I claim a recipe, but if I use someone else's recipe verbatim, then to me, it's still theirs.

Good question...I think maybe 3 or 4 components should be different enough that someone else couldn't come along and figure out what you did?
