1 Cup Dry Measure Is Recipe

	Momoften / All my dishes 1 year, 2 months ago Working with one of the kids brought to mind another simple conversion that I use a lot. Whether it is to increase or decrease a recipe. It is time consuming a risky to measure out 12 tablespoons and more convenient than 1/16 of a cup, so using this simple conversion is helpful.... More Servings:0	Momoften

Ingredients

1 cup is:

16 tablespoons

so,

1/8 cup is 2 tablespoons

1/4 cup is 4 tablespoons

1/2 cup is 8 tablespoons

3/4 cup is 12 tablespoons

Directions

other conversions work like:

6 tablespoons = 3/8 cup or 1/4 cup plus 1/8 cup or 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons

9 tablespoons = 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon

So, with a little math you can make your recipe conversions a little more manageable.

I've actually had to do that many times! I should print this out and keep it taped inside my kitchen cabinet for future use! Thanks!:)

Thanks for posting this! I change recipe sizes all the time (usually to scale them down). Math comes easy to me, so I never thought of actually posting something to help others who can use a little assistance in figuring things out. Sometimes I make 1/3 of a recipe, and then it comes in real handy to remember that since a tablespoon is 3 teaspoons, 1/3 of any amount of tablespoons is the same number of teaspoons.
