Then we get really scrappy. A standard coffee mug is usually about 1.5 cups. So 3/4 of a mug is a generous handful. Half of that? Just pour a solid splash and know that baking is about love, not perfection. (Unless you’re making bread. Then perfection matters. But that’s another conversation.)
Another visual? A 3/4 cup of liquid fills a typical juice glass almost to the top. Half of that is… well, half a glass of juice. You’d recognize it. You’re not a robot.
What about butter? Because butter is its own beast.
Ah, good question. A stick of butter is 1/2 cup. So 3/4 of a cup of butter is 1.5 sticks. Half of that is 3/4 of a stick. On a butter wrapper, that’s usually the line just past the halfway mark. Or just cut a stick at the 6-tablespoon mark. See? We keep coming back to 6 tablespoons.

Pro tip: Cold butter is easier to cut. Warm butter is a mess. Don’t be that person chasing a greasy knife around.
