Cooking with maple sugar

[Bradenfish]

What is the conversion rate when substituting white granular sugar for maple sugar in cooking and baking?

[happy thoughts]

I believe it is 1:1 although some sources don't suggest replacing all the white sugar because of the expense and stronger flavor. Maple syrup can also be used to replace white sugar at a ratio of 3/4 cups syrup to 1 cup white sugar and reducing the liquid*in the recipe by 3 Tablespoons based on the ratio of how much is being substituted.

I use it 1:1. But be careful, it does impart a stronger flavour than white sugar. Because of that fact, and also because it is much, much more expensive than white sugar, I would usually blend it with white. Nine time out of ten though, I use it as a garnish so that its unique flavour and distinctive look can be appreciated and enjoyed.

In theory its 1 to 1 but my friends that use maple sugar almost exclusively for health reasons, too many chemicals used in white sugar, say about 2/3 the amount gives the same sweetness as white sugar
