Use the tool below to convert golden syrup from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.

Golden syrup is a thick amber sugar syrup made from sugar cane juice, with a buttery toffee flavour. One metric cup (250 ml) of golden syrup weighs around 350 grams or 12.35 ounces, making it slightly heavier than honey. It is a British baking staple in flapjacks, treacle tart, gingerbread, and steamed puddings.

Golden syrup is so sticky that scooping a clean cup is hard. Weighing in grams or millilitres is the most reliable way to get the right amount without the mess of a coated measuring cup.

Also known as

  • light treacle
  • cane syrup

Honey and golden syrup are both thick liquid sweeteners, but honey carries floral notes from nectar while golden syrup gives a buttery toffee flavour. They are close in weight (340 g vs 350 g per cup), so swap 1:1 by volume in bakes that suit either flavour, like flapjacks or gingerbread. See our Honey converter.

Maple syrup is thinner than golden syrup and tastes of caramel and tree sap rather than toffee. Golden syrup is heavier (350 g vs 325 g per cup) and richer in flavour, so the two are not perfect 1:1 swaps; weigh and expect a sweeter, stickier result from golden syrup. See our Maple Syrup converter.
