Measuring 50g of brown sugar without a scale
No scale? 50 g of brown sugar is about ¼ cup (0.23 cups), or roughly 4 tablespoons using standard US measuring cups and spoons. Spoon it in and level off the top instead of scooping, which packs in extra.
Fifty grams of brown sugar comes to about a quarter cup packed, the lightest amount most recipes bother to specify by weight. It is the typical sweetener load in a small crumble topping, a single tray of granola, or a marinade for a couple of pork chops. At this size, packing technique barely matters: even a loosely scooped quarter cup lands within a few grams, so a scale is a convenience rather than a necessity here.
