Spreenkle #1
It was pointed out in a recent post on kitchen scales that a cup of flour should weigh 5 ounces…that takes all the guess work out of measuring your flour and a good part of the mess out of baking. But how about sugar? Brown sugar, light or dark, should weigh 7 ounces. Same as white sugar! Kind of cool if you’ve ever wondered how tightly to pack your sugar.
Two spreenkles for the price of one today – did you know you can make your own brown sugar? For light brown sugar, add 1 Tablespoon molasses. For dark brown sugar, add 2. Mix well, store air-tight.

Good info! Love it. Thanks, Spree. (I should let you know…I kinda want to call you Spreenkle now.)
You go right ahead honey!
This addition to the Spree Publishing Empire will be worthwhile for many of us. Thanks, Spree.

Oh my own brown sugar that’s a thought…
Now that’s great advice… I sometimes run out of brown sugar, never white… always brown!!! Thanks Spree.. another great post full of helpfulness:) xoxo Smidge
Well, doggone it! Now I am going to have to go out and invest in kitchen scales! I used to have some but they have disappeared in the mists of time. Hmmmmm…. I have misplaced more stuff than I can fathom at this point!
I am going to start making my own brown sugar now – you are fabu!
spreenkles definitely… sounds a little bit girly still 🙂
(Just wanted to say too, your photography spree is absolutely gorgeous.)
Brilliant – love this info!
Thank you for that 🙂
