How to measure golden syrup

Granulated sugars are levelled; brown sugar is packed firmly into the cup. Syrups are easiest to measure in a lightly oiled cup.

Golden syrup and honey weigh almost the same per spoon.

Also called: light treacle.

Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from USDA FoodData Central household measures. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
