How to measure granulated sugar

Granulated sugar is dense and pours evenly, so cup measurements are fairly reliable. Level the cup with a knife for accuracy.

All amounts use the US cup (236.6 mL). A Canadian, Australian or metric cup is 250 mL, about 6% larger; for baking, the gram weights are the safest choice wherever you live.
