To measure half a pint of sour cream:
1. By Volume: A pint equals 16 fluid ounces, so half a pint is 8 fluid ounces. Use a liquid measuring cup to measure out 8 fluid ounces of sour cream.
2. By Weight: If you’re using a scale, note that sour cream is typically sold in containers measured by weight, not volume. A pint container often weighs about 16 ounces (1 pound), so half a pint would be approximately 8 ounces by weight. Check the packaging to confirm the weight.
3. By Tablespoons: If you don’t have a measuring cup, 1 pint is equivalent to 32 tablespoons, so half a pint is 16 tablespoons. Use a tablespoon to measure it out.
