Detailed explanation-1: -Packing brown sugar is a crucial component in making a consistent baking measurement. Packing brown sugar presses out all of those small pockets of air that get trapped between the sticky sugar granules, and in-turn will ensure that your sweet treat comes out as just that-sweet!

Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike white sugar or powdered sugar, brown sugar retains a certain amount of molasses, making it relatively moist. The molasses causes the sugar to clump together, so when you measure brown sugar, it’s necessary to pack it into the dry measuring cup or measuring tool you’re using to prevent air pockets.

Detailed explanation-3: -Question: When a recipe calls for brown sugar, is it always packed into the measuring cup or spoon? Answer: Yes, brown sugar should be packed into measuring cups and spoons with your fingers until even with the rim.
