About measuring honey
Honey is one of the densest things you will measure in a kitchen, so a cup of it weighs far more than a cup of water. One US cup is about 340 grams. Its stickiness makes volume measuring frustrating, since a good spoonful clings to the cup and never fully pours out. Weighing straight into the mixing bowl solves that: set the bowl on the scale, zero it, and drizzle honey until you hit the target grams.
Weigh honey straight into the bowl. It is too sticky to measure cleanly by volume.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 cup of honey?
One US cup of honey is about 340 grams. Honey is denser than water, so a cup weighs considerably more than a cup of most liquids.
How many grams is a tablespoon of honey?
About 21 grams. Honey is dense and sticky, so a level tablespoon carries more weight than the same spoon of a thin liquid.
Can I swap honey for sugar by weight?
Honey is sweeter and adds moisture, so a straight swap changes texture. As a rough guide use about three quarters the weight of honey for sugar and cut other liquids slightly.
