MEASURING BROWN SUGAR

Place the desired dry measuring cup onto a piece of waxed paper, or into a larger bowl. This will contain any spills for easy transfer back to the canister.

Scoop some brown sugar from the canister with a spoon and place it in the desired dry measuring cup pressing firmly so that the sugar is gently packed into the cup level with the top.

When you turn the contents of the cup into your mixing bowl, it should hold the shape of the cup.

If your brown sugar has become hard from being exposed to air while stored, place the container in your microwave oven and microwave at 10 second increments. After each increment, gently break apart the lumps with a spoon until manageable for measuring.
