Cups to grams, for your ingredient
A cup of flour and a cup of honey weigh very differently. Pick the ingredient, enter the amount, and read it in any unit.
Weights are typical averages (US cup, 240 ml). Packing and brand change them by a few percent, so for baking a kitchen scale is more exact.
About honey
A dense, sticky syrup that is mostly sugar. It sweetens, keeps baked goods moist and browns quickly.
Measuring tips for honey
- Lightly oil the cup or spoon so the honey slides out.
- Warm the jar in hot water if it crystallises.
- Lower the oven temperature slightly when baking with it, because it browns fast.
What can replace honey?
Maple syrup or agave syrup work in many recipes, though flavour and sweetness differ.
