Half of 3 Quarters of a Cup
Here’s your new mantra: Half of three-quarters is three-eighths. That’s 0.375 or ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons. Write it on a sticky note. Tattoo it on your arm (but maybe test the ink first). From now on, you’ll never freeze up when a recipe asks you to halve a weird fraction.

And if you’re ever in doubt, just remember: a tablespoon is about the size of your thumb from the knuckle to the tip. So 6 thumb-scoops of flour? Close enough. Your taste buds won’t know the difference.
One Last Joke for the Road
Why did the baker only use ¾ cup of flour? Because his other half was too half-brained to figure out the math. (Badum-tss.) Okay, I’ll see myself out.
But seriously—you’ve got this. Next time you’re halving a recipe, you’ll whip out that ¼ cup and those 2 tablespoons like a pro. Your friends will be impressed, your family will be fed, and you’ll feel like the genius you are.
