How to measure golden syrup

Dense, viscous sweetener — grease the cup or warm slightly for a cleaner pour.

Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to measure golden syrup is with a digital kitchen scale. If you are working from cups, keep your technique consistent every time so your results are repeatable. For more, see our guide on baking by weight versus volume.

Golden syrup conversions: FAQ

Why doesn't a cup of golden syrup weigh the same as a cup of water?

A cup measures volume, not weight. Golden syrup is denser than water (340 g versus 237 g per cup), so the same volume has a different weight. Weighing in grams is the most accurate way to measure it.
