Honey
Honey is one of the densest common cooking ingredients at 340g per cup. When measuring, lightly oil your measuring cup first so the honey slides out completely. When substituting honey for granulated sugar: use 3/4 cup honey per 1 cup sugar, reduce other liquids by 1/4 cup, add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and lower oven temperature by 25 degrees F to prevent over-browning.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
