Understanding Sugar Measurements

Weight vs. Volume Measurements

Professional bakers prefer weight measurements (pounds) over volume measurements (tablespoons) for greater accuracy. Different types of sugar have different densities, which can affect recipe outcomes:

  • Granulated Sugar: 1 pound = 36.29 tablespoons
  • Powdered Sugar: 1 pound = 58.06 tablespoons
  • Brown Sugar: 1 pound = 36.29 tablespoons (packed)

Tips for Accurate Measurement

  • Use a digital scale for weight measurements
  • Level off tablespoons with a straight edge
  • Pack brown sugar firmly in the measuring spoon
  • Sift powdered sugar before measuring
