Real-World Trickery: When You Don’t Have a 3/8 Cup
Most measuring cup sets don’t include a 3/8 cup. It’s the awkward middle child of measuring tools. So what do you do?
Use a 1/4 cup (that’s 2/8) and a 1/8 cup (that’s 1/8). Add them together. Boom—you’ve got 3/8 cup without breaking a sweat.
Alternatively, fill a 1/4 cup halfway and then add just a splash. That splash is your secret weapon. Mystery ingredients build character.
