Love golden syrup? Then you're going to love these delicious golden syrup desserts. There's also some tasty breakfast ideas and sweet snacks in there too!

What is Golden Syrup?

Golden syrup is a thick liquid sugar that’s a rich amber colour. It's also called light treacle or golden treacle and is what’s known as an invert sugar. This is a mixture of glucose and fructose in liquid form. It’s stable during baking and will not crystallize.

It has a thick, treacle-like consistency at room temperature but has a more subtle flavour in comparison to treacle, honey and maple syrup. The colour is usually a deep golden amber.

Golden syrup is made in the process of refining sugar cane or sugar beets.

Tate and Lyle's golden syrup is the most famous brand, and one that I love using for baking!

Check out this easy recipe for homemade golden syrup to use in these great golden syrup desserts below!
