sirup

Poured over flapjacks

Sirup is a variant spelling of syrup—a thick, sweet liquid made by dissolving sugar in water or by reducing plant juices.

The spelling sirup was once preferred in American English, particularly in technical and commercial contexts, but has largely fallen out of use.

Maple sirup and corn sirup now look old-fashioned or affected.
