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, the same weight as 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.

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 weigh the same per cup (350 g), so swap 1:1 by volume in bakes that suit either flavour, like flapjacks or gingerbread. See honey in tablespoons.

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 maple syrup in tablespoons.

Molasses is slightly lighter (340 g vs 350 g per cup) and much more bitter than golden syrup. Use it only in recipes designed for its strong, dark flavour, such as gingerbread or treacle tart. See molasses in tablespoons.
