Measuring 250g of granulated sugar without a scale
No scale? 250 g of granulated sugar is about 1¼ cups (1.25 cups), or roughly 1 cup + 4 tablespoons using standard US measuring cups and spoons. Spoon it in and level off the top instead of scooping, which packs in extra.
250 g of granulated sugar comes to one and a quarter cups and signals you have moved into richer, sturdier bakes. It suits a dense pound cake, a fudgy brownie tray meant for a crowd, or a French meringue built on four to five egg whites, where the roughly 50 g of sugar per white keeps the foam glossy and stable. A handy kitchen fact: 250 g is a neat quarter of a standard 1 kg bag, so you can portion by weight without a half-empty cup.
