Expert Tips
Granulated sugar should be spooned and leveled, not packed. It does not compress like brown sugar.
For the most accurate sugar measurement, use a kitchen scale. 1 cup of granulated sugar weighs approximately 200g.
Sugar is hygroscopic - it absorbs moisture from the air. Store in an airtight container to prevent clumping.
