Do you know how to measure Brown Sugar correctly? It has lots of moisture, so it should be measured by packing it into a cup, then leveling off the top with the back of a knife. When you empty the cup, the sugar should stay in the shape of the cup.
No. 3 : Clever Idea
Orange Zest and Juice are great natural ingredients that add lots of sweet flavor – without adding additional sugar. Next time your baked good is a little blah – add the zest of a orange to your recipe. You will be surprised how amazingly good it will taste!
