When to use this converter
Useful for very small-batch baking where cup fractions get awkward.
Common mistakes to avoid
- 1 cup = 48 tsp; easy to miscalculate when halving or quartering.
- Level teaspoons, especially with salt and baking powder.
Quick example ¼ cup of sugar = 12 tsp. Teaspoons are easier to portion in ultra-small batches.
