Honey is a natural liquid sweetener produced by bees from flower nectar. Dense and viscous, 1 cup (250 ml) of honey weighs around 340 grams — roughly 40% heavier than the same volume of water. Its thick consistency makes weight measurements far more reliable than estimating by volume in a sticky measuring cup.

Baking recipes frequently list honey by tablespoons or grams rather than cups. One tablespoon of honey weighs about 20 grams, so a kitchen scale is the easiest way to hit the right amount without the mess.

Golden syrup is a refined cane sugar syrup with a buttery toffee taste, while honey carries floral notes from nectar. They are close in weight (350 g vs 340 g per cup) and swap 1:1 by volume in flapjacks, gingerbread, and toffee bakes that suit either flavour. See our Golden Syrup converter.

Molasses is darker and more bittersweet than honey, with a stronger flavour even in small amounts. They weigh the same per cup (340 g), but only swap them where the recipe suits a robust, dark character. See our Molasses converter.
