Measuring maple syrup by cup and by weight
Maple syrup weighs about 312 g per cup, a little less than honey but much more than water. Grade and darkness barely change the weight; they change the flavor. If you are replacing granulated sugar with maple syrup, weigh the syrup and reduce other liquid in the recipe, because syrup is about a third water.
