What is a half pint of sugar in recipe?

A half pint of sugar in a recipe is a measurement of volume, not weight. Here's how to convert it to a more standard measurement:

* US Customary: A half pint is equal to 8 fluid ounces.

* Metric: A half pint is equal to 237 milliliters.

To use this in a recipe, you'll need to know the density of the sugar you're using:

* Granulated Sugar: The density of granulated sugar is approximately 0.85 grams per milliliter.

* Brown Sugar: The density of brown sugar is slightly higher, around 0.9 grams per milliliter.

Here's how to calculate the weight of sugar:

1. For granulated sugar: 237 ml * 0.85 g/ml = 201.45 grams

2. For brown sugar: 237 ml * 0.9 g/ml = 213.3 grams

Therefore, a half pint of granulated sugar is roughly equivalent to 201.45 grams, and a half pint of brown sugar is roughly equivalent to 213.3 grams.

Important Note: These are estimates. The exact weight of sugar in a half pint can vary slightly depending on the type of sugar and its packing density.
