About Honey
For the cleanest transfer, place the mixing bowl on the scale, tare it and add honey directly. If using a cup, scrape out what clings to its walls rather than leaving part of the measured portion behind.
Honey contributes liquid as well as sugar. Replacing dry sugar changes the balance of a batter, so use recipe-specific guidance instead of swapping equal cups automatically.
Tips for measuring Honey
- Gently warm crystallised honey only if you need it pourable.
- Let hot honey cool before adding it to a temperature-sensitive mixture.
Common mistakes
- Counting honey left in the measuring cup as if it reached the recipe.
