Measuring 8 oz of Pure Maple Syrup in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of pure maple syrup weighs 312g when measured poured liquid, 8 Ounces (226.8g) translates to 0.73 US cups (⅔ cup + 1 tbsp). By contrast, using the boiled down / maple cream measure (325g/cup — a 13g per-cup shift), 8 oz occupies ⅔ cup + 1 ½ tsp (0.70 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅔ cup + 1 tbsp (11.63 tablespoons total) using poured liquid technique. Pour at eye level in a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface, or weigh in a bowl on a digital kitchen scale.
