Measuring honey by cup and by weight
Honey is about one and a half times as dense as water: a cup weighs roughly 336 g. It clings to the cup, so a measuring cup that is not lightly oiled will leave several grams behind. Lightly greasing the cup, or measuring honey on a scale, avoids that. Crystallized honey weighs the same; warm the jar in hot water to loosen it.
