Half of 1/3 cup isn’t a test of your worth as a cook. It’s just a little puzzle, like remembering where you left your keys. The answer is 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons. Write it on your hand. Stick it on your fridge. Tattoo it on your arm—I won’t judge.
Cooking is about making stuff that tastes good, not passing a quiz. So pour, scoop, and don’t sweat the small stuff. Half of 1/3 cup is tiny, but your victory over it is huge. Now go make something tasty, you math-conquering kitchen warrior.
And if you forget again? Welcome to the club. We have cookies—just make sure you halve the extract correctly this time.
