How to stop sticky ingredients sticking to measuring cups

As any avid baker will know, sticky ingredients such as honey, golden syrup, treacle and rice malt syrup will stick to measuring cups when you try to pour it out. Fortunately, there’s a hack to fix that.

Step 1

Grab some olive oil and the measuring cups you intend to use.

Step 2

Using a clean finger, rub olive oil around the inside of the measuring cups.

Step 3

Pour in your ingredients and watch as it slides right out – no mess or fuss!

Want to see the hack in action? Check out the video below.

Too easy!
