Measuring 85g 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, 85 Grams (85g) translates to 0.27 US cups (¼ cup + 1 tsp). By contrast, using the boiled down / maple cream measure (325g/cup — a 13g per-cup shift), 85g occupies ¼ cup (0.26 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¼ cup + 1 tsp (4.36 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.
