How to measure ¼ cup without a ¼ cup measure
Use 4 level tablespoons, or fill a ½ cup measure halfway.
¼ cup for dry and liquid ingredients
For flour, sugar and other dry ingredients, use a dry measuring cup and level the top with a knife. For water, milk and oil, use a clear liquid measuring cup and fill to the ¼ cup line. Both hold the same volume, 59 ml, but a dry cup is easier to level and a liquid cup is easier to pour from.
US vs metric cup
This page uses the US cup (236.6 ml). If your recipe is from Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the UK, it probably uses the 250 ml metric cup, so ¼ cup there is 62.5 ml and holds about 6% more. Switch the converter to Metric 250 ml for those recipes.
