Why accurate maple syrup measurements matter

Maple syrup is a staple in many air fryer recipes, from sweet glazes to marinades. Using too much or too little can alter the texture and flavour of your dish.

How to measure maple syrup for air fryer recipes

Measuring maple syrup can be tricky due to its thick consistency. For 1.75 cups, use a liquid measuring cup with a spout for easy pouring. Alternatively, a kitchen scale set to ounces will give you the most accurate result (14.8 oz). If you’re working with smaller quantities, remember that 1 cup of maple syrup equals roughly 8.45 oz in the UK.

Common mistakes when converting cups to ounces

One frequent error is confusing fluid ounces with weight ounces. Maple syrup’s density means 1.75 cups translates to 14.8 fluid ounces, not weight ounces. Also, using a dry measuring cup instead of a liquid one can lead to inaccuracies. For more tips on avoiding measurement pitfalls, explore our dessert recipes, where precision is key.
