Lyle's Golden Syrup

what is it?

A familiar pantry staple in the U.K., Lyle’s Golden Syrup is a full-flavored cane sugar syrup that’s used as an ingredient in both baking and savory cooking, and as a topping for foods like pancakes and ice cream.

With its rich, caramelly flavor Lyle's Golden Syrup is an alternative to traditionally using corn syrup is some recipes because corn syrup lacks great flavor and often produces a slightly runny filling. Replacing some of the corn syrup with the thicker, sweeter Golden Syrup results in a more stable filling with better flavor.
