Recipes are dictators. They demand precision. One wrong splash of vanilla and your cookies taste like a regret sandwich. 3/4 is the Goldilocks zone of baking.
Too little? Your cake is sad. Too much? Your soup tastes like a salt lick. 3/4 is the sweet spot between “eh” and “oh wow.”
Think of it as the gentle nudge in a recipe. It’s not a full scoop. It’s not a half scoop. It’s the Goldilocks scoop. Just right.
