Measuring ingredients accurately is essential for successful baking and cooking. When a recipe calls for a specific amount of an ingredient, it’s important to measure it correctly to ensure the dish turns out as intended. One common measurement that home cooks need to make is 2/3 cup. If you only have a 1/4 cup measuring cup, you can still measure 2/3 cup by following a few simple steps.
To make 2/3 cup with 1/4 cup, you will need to fill the 1/4 cup measuring cup three times. The first two times, fill the measuring cup to the brim and level it off with a knife or straight edge. The third time, fill the measuring cup to the 2/3 cup mark. This will give you a total of 2/3 cup of the ingredient.
