How ¼ cup of maple syrup works out
One US cup of maple syrup weighs 322 grams, so multiply by 0.25 to get a quarter cup: 322 × 0.25 = 80.5 g. In the other direction, 80.5 g of maple syrup divided by 322 brings you back to ¼ cup.
If you have no scales, ¼ cup is 4 level tablespoons of maple syrup (12 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 85.1 g.
Tip: Use real maple syrup, not pancake 'syrup' (which is mostly corn syrup with flavouring), when the maple flavour is the point of the recipe.
