Honey: cups to grams
Honey is dense, about 340 g per cup, 1.4 times the weight of water. Maple syrup is a little lighter at 312 g per cup and golden syrup and molasses about 330 to 340 g. Recipes that replace sugar with honey use about 20 % less honey by weight and reduce the liquid.
1 cup honey = 340 g · 1 tbsp = 21.3 g · 100 g = 0.29 cups
Based on 340 g per US cup of honey, spooned and levelled. Real-world cups vary by about ±10 % for powders.
How to measure honey
Oil the measuring cup or spoon lightly so the honey slides out, or weigh it directly into the bowl. 1 tablespoon = 21 g.
Weight is the only measure that does not depend on the container or on how the ingredient was filled. The figure of 340 g per US cup comes from the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart; other charts differ by a few percent, which is within the spread between two cooks filling the same cup.
