1 tbsp golden syrup in grams
1 tbsp of golden syrup = 21.2 grams · 14.8 ml · 3 tsp
That is one tablespoon of golden syrup, filled to the rim rather than domed. A full US cup of golden syrup weighs 340 g and holds 16 tablespoons, so 1 tbsp comes to 21.2 g. Use the converter for any other amount.
Based on a measured density of 340 g per US cup (236.6 ml), poured level rather than to the brim. Last reviewed .
How 1 tbsp of golden syrup works out
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup, so take the weight of a cup of golden syrup and multiply: 340 × 0.062 = 21.2 g. By volume that is 14.8 ml, the same in the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand.
Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon holds 20 ml, not 15, so 1 tbsp of golden syrup from an Australian recipe is about 28.7 g. Heaped spoons are not a measure at all; a heaped spoonful can hold half as much again.
Tip: Warm golden syrup gently or oil the cup so it pours; cold from the tin it is slow and clingy.
