In this Baking 101 Video,
we start with the basics, as I show you how to properly measure brown sugar for your recipe, and soften it up if it has hardened and dried out!
How To Soften & Properly Measure Brown Sugar
First, break up any clumps with a fork. If your brown sugar has hardened simply place a damp paper towel over the sugar and microwave for a few seconds at a time until softened again.
Gently, pack brown sugar down into your measuring cup/spoon.
Drag a flat edge across the top of the measuring cup/spoon to level off the top.
Release sugar into your mixing bowl. It should retain it's shape but not be too packed, so it doesn't easily fall apart when stirred.
