Measure out both, IOW, you will need both 1/2 C and 1 T cornstarch

The software doesn't allow you to enter "1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp cornstarch," and most people would be annoyed to measure out "5 tbsp cornstarch," so the best way to enter something like that is on two lines. When I do it, I always put PLUS after the first entry.

A half cup plus one tablespoon would be nine tablespoons.

You're right. Fingers faster than brain... and people would be even MORE annoyed to measure out 9 tbsp.

[Zeldaz]

Yup, I sure would!
