About Golden Syrup
Its thick consistency makes a cup slow to empty. Scrape the sides and bottom thoroughly, or add it directly to the mixing bowl by weight; do not count syrup left in the cup as part of the recipe.
Golden syrup contributes a caramel-like flavour as well as sweetness. Honey and corn syrup have their own flavours and compositions, so an equal weight is not a promise of the same result in a tart or biscuit.
Tips for measuring Golden Syrup
- Use a scraper for the last coating of syrup.
- Check that the recipe means golden syrup rather than treacle.
Common mistakes
- Leaving a substantial portion stuck in the measuring cup.
