I will have to look into that, thanks. I found that using a 1/3 measuring cup, with the spout on it, worked quite well (provided I leveled it with a knife first). Each liner was filled well over the recommended 3/4 full, but I found that this gave my muffins a much more rounded, filled-out appearence than using a 1/4 cup and filling only 3/4 of each liner.
