How to measure golden syrup accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh golden syrup on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of golden syrup weighs about 340 grams (12 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts golden syrup and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Warm golden syrup gently or oil the cup so it pours; cold from the tin it is slow and clingy.
