Measuring 250g of brown sugar without a scale
No scale? 250 g of brown sugar is about 1⅛ cups (1.14 cups), or roughly 1 cup + 2 tablespoons using standard US measuring cups and spoons. Spoon it in and level off the top instead of scooping, which packs in extra.
Two hundred fifty grams of brown sugar is a heaping cup plus a couple of tablespoons, about 1.14 cups packed. This is double-batch territory: a large sheet of gingerbread, two dozen cookies, or a pan of sticky buns with sugar to spare for the filling. It is also a full 250-gram metric measuring cup of granulated sugar by weight, a coincidence worth ignoring here, since packed brown sugar overshoots that cup by roughly an eighth.
