How To Measure and Pack Brown Sugar
Packing brown sugar is a crucial component in making a consistent baking measurement. Packing brown sugar presses out all of those small pockets of air that get trapped between the sticky sugar granules, and in-turn will ensure that your sweet treat comes out as just that—sweet!
How to Measure Brown Sugar
STEP 1: Scoop the brown sugar
Using a spoon, scoop the brown sugar into your measuring cup.
STEP 2: Press down
Press down on the pile of brown sugar until it is tight and compact.
STEP 3: Repeat
Repeat the scooping and pressing as needed until the measuring cup is full. The top of the brown sugar should be flush with the top of the measuring cup.
