A pint is two cupfuls of anything.

To measure a cupful, or spoonful of Mazola, pour in as much as the utensil will hold.

To measure a cupful or spoonful of Karo, fill the utensil, but not to overflowing.

To measure a half tablespoonful or teaspoonful of any dry ingredient, fill the spoon, scrape level with a knife, and divide lengthwise. To measure a quarter spoonful, halve crosswise.
