US cups: 0.125 · nutrition-label cups (240 mL): 0.123 · metric cups (250 mL): 0.118 · UK fluid ounces: 1.04
Standard US sets skip the 1/8 cup, so reach for the tablespoon: 2 level tablespoons fill it exactly. Recipes that say "2 Tbsp oil" or "2 Tbsp lemon juice" are asking for this same amount, just written in spoons.
It is also half of a 1/4 cup. Trying to fill a 1/4 cup halfway is guesswork, so use the two tablespoons when you halve a recipe. A US shot is usually about 1.5 fl oz, which makes 1/8 cup a smaller pour than most shot glasses.
Dry ingredients vary a lot at this size: spooned all-purpose flour is about 15 g (0.53 oz by weight), granulated sugar about 25 g (0.87 oz), and butter about 28 g (1 oz), a quarter of a stick.
