How to measure granulated sugar
- Granulated sugar: scoop or spoon, then level.
- Brown sugar: press it firmly into the cup.
- Powdered sugar: spoon it in loosely and level; sift after measuring if the recipe says so.
- Honey and syrups: a thin film of oil in the cup lets them slide out.
- For the same result every time, weigh it: put the bowl on the scale, press tare, then add granulated sugar to the weight above.
