But what if your tablespoon is also missing? Are you cursed? Possibly. But fear not. Use a 1/4 cup and a 1/8 cup. That’s 1/4 plus 1/8, which equals 3/8. Wait, that’s more. Crud.
Okay, real talk: 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons does the trick. That’s 4 tablespoons (for the 1/4 cup) plus 2 more. That’s six tablespoons total, which is actually too much by 2 teaspoons. See? Math is a slippery devil.
Stick with the 5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon method. Write it on your fridge. Tattoo it on your arm (just a small one, maybe on your pinky). It’s the golden key.
