Honey is significantly denser than water, weighing approximately 340 grams per US cup (compared to 237g/cup for water). This makes eyeballing honey in a cup measure especially unreliable — weighing is the most accurate method.
A useful tip: if a recipe calls for both oil and honey, measure the oil first. The residual coating on the measuring cup prevents honey from sticking, making it easier to pour out and get a clean measurement.
