slightly less than the measurement specified.
I always assume it to mean 7/8 because you can normally measure 3/4.

Slightly less than the full measure. A scant !/4 teaspoon would be less than a "level" 1/4 teaspoon.

1. barely enough in quantity or amount; very little.
Example a scant supply ; the scantest evidence.

Just barely the amount called for. For example, one scant cup of flour would mean to fill the cup to just barely the one cup mark.

For example, a scant teaspoon. Measure a teaspoon loosely, do not pack - just barely a teaspoon.
