Measuring 1 Tablespoon of Honey in the Kitchen
Measured poured liquid at a verified bulk density of 340g per US cup, 1 tablespoon of honey weighs 21.3 grams (0.75 ounces). Measured using the creamed / spun honey method (345g/cup), that same 1 tbsp holds 21.6g — a 0.3g difference in your mixing bowl.
Coat the measuring cup with a thin wipe of neutral oil or non-stick spray so viscous honey slides out cleanly without leaving residue behind.
