Pour a little bit of flavourless oil (like canola or peanut) onto your spoon; getting it just to the edges and then pour it off so there is still a little bit left. then squeeze the honey on and it will fall right off.

Be sure to wipe out of your measuring cup or spoons all of something heavy or sticky to make sure it gets into your recipe. Successful baking depends upon exact measurements and you can lose up to a third of your ingredients golden syrup, honey, etc.) if you leave some behind in spoon or cup. I often run the tip of my little finger into the bowl of a spoon to get the last bit, or use a tiny spatula to make sure all of my ingredients end up in the recipe.

In cooking a tablespoon is not a serving implement but a precise measurement. If it helps, think of a tablespoon as 3 teaspoons unless you are in Australia.

Because of its volume, sea salt seems to be less salty than table salt when used in cooking. If replacing sea salt with table salt, use half the amount.
