how do you measure 2 oz of brown sugar?
Measuring cups would work.
2oz is how much? 1/4 cup? 1/2 cup?
Hi Jerry, 2 ounces equals 1/4 cup 🙂
Do yourself a favor and get a digital scale on Amazon, bout $12-15 and you will forever be grateful because you’ll use it every time you cook specially if you bake some no-knead bread to scarf with your brisket or pulled-pork. Life will never be the same. Trust me on this. 👍
Great suggestion Bob, thanks for that!
Can we replace ketchup with tomato paste? I can only find very sweet ketchup here in Thailand. Or just use that and cut down on brown sugar quantity?
Hi made this and it’s great Thank you.
On the video Aaron calls for 1/2 lb of butter but the written one on the web site says 1/4 lb. I doubled the recipe with a little more than 1/2 pound of butter and it turned out great
Thank you
