"scant" on measure of anything means go just below the measure line. scant 3/4 means don't worry if the spoon isn't level full, it can be a little less. NO!! I do not have nor have I ever had an 1/8 spoon. I will continue to measure in my hand, And I bet my measuring is closer to real than yours ever will be. You will grow up to be a food technician!!

That would mean not quiet a level teaspoon.when they call for a teaspoon, they mean leveled---just use th scant as under a teaspoon----more than a pinch?
