Frequently asked questions

How many grams is 1/2 cup of golden syrup?

1/2 cup of golden syrup is 170 grams, based on 340 g per level US cup.

Is it different with a UK or Australian cup?

Slightly. UK, Australian and New Zealand recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, which is about 6% bigger than a US cup (236.6 ml). Using a metric cup, 1/2 cup of golden syrup would be 180 g.

Should I weigh golden syrup or measure it by volume?

Sugar is fairly consistent by volume, but sticky syrups cling to the cup – grease it first so you get the full amount out. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
