How To Measure 1 8 Teaspoon

Answer 3

1 8 Teaspoon Equals

Answer 4

1/32 of a teaspoon

Answer 5

It should be half of the 1/4. 1/8 and 1/8 is 1/4.

Answer 6

Take 1/4 tsp and pour on a plate, use knife to cut in half.



Salt in this amount it not going to be critical but halving a cookie recipe may give different texture or taste results. They should still be edible, just a little different.

Answer 7

I would just put at least 4 pinches of salt in and call it good... If you use too much salt then yeah it might ruin the cookies

Answer 8

With salt or other dry goods in this amount, measure out 1/4 teaspoon. Drop it onto a small piece of parchment or other similar piece of paper and use a knife or similar thin, sharp object to divide or "cut" the pile into 2 equal parts. Then only use one of them.
