Rogers Golden Syrup??

[Trac]

I bought this a while ago, thinking it might be a better choice than corn syrup (I was thinking about puffed wheat squares at the time), but I've never felt comfortable enough to use it. Is it a "better" choice (although I'm sure not a "good" one)? It says "100% pure cane syrup containing no preservatives or additives."

I'm cleaning out my pantry today...should I toss it or keep it around for the occasional puffed wheat squares?

I'd use cane syrup over corn syrup any day of the week.

This months Bon Appetit has a recipe for British flapjacks (like an oatmeal cookie/granola bar) that calls for golden syrup!

Golden Syrup is *totally* different from Corn Syrup. I use it all the time in my baking. Many Australian and UK recipes call for it and there is no substitute. Make some Anzac Biscuits (a type of oatmeal/coconut/Golden Syrup cookie) and there will be no turning back. Anzac Day is April 25th, so you have some time to prepare!

Oh yes Anzacs! I make them for my Kiwi DH all the time - and Flapjacks OMG: I grew up eating these things (which probably explains a lot). I buy Tate and Lyle's Golden Syrup here in the States.... mmmmm

There's a recipe here for Flapjack from Delia Smith, the British Martha:

... though personally I'd leave out the almond essence. Enjoy!

I think golden syrup has a better flavour than corn syrup - a little more caramel-like.

Anzacs, yum! I like them soft and chewy.

Golden Syrup Pudding is another option. If you google, you'll come up with a few recipes. It's incredibly sweet and good comfort food.

Thank you all! I'll have to check out those other recipes, too!

I LOVE Golden syrup over peanut butter toast. Its the only way I will eat peanut butter.
