golden syrup
Thick British sweetener
Golden syrup is a thick, amber-colored sweetener with a buttery, caramel-like flavor, made from refined sugar cane.
It's a staple in British baking, essential for treacle tart and flapjacks: The recipe calls for two tablespoons of golden syrup.
Unlike molasses, it's mild and light, with a distinctive smooth texture.
