If you're following a British recipe that calls for Lyle's, you can sub dark corn syrup. The taste won't be exactly the same, but it will work. There is an American-made version of Lyle's, but it's hard to find. It's Steen's Cane Syrup. It's very regional and only found in grocery stores in Louisiana and Alabama. But they do mail order business across the rest of the country.
You can make it for FAR less than 6usd per 12oz. It's caramelized sugar with lemon/citric acid. If the old version was a byproduct of white sugar refining, then it had a touch of molasses for color. If it's caramelized sugar it tastes wonderful but lacks some of the complexity of real maple syrup, but it's it can be made for pennies per cup.
It is a portafilter from an espresso machine. It is a closed bottom portafilter as opposed to a bottomless portafilter where you can see how evenly your espresso shots are pulling. (Thanks to Mogan Eckroth for her RUclips channel that has thoroughly educated me about coffee and how to make better espresso on my machine.) I have never used Golden syrup. With the increased cost of honey, perhaps I should. I rarely harvest honey from my beehives because their job is to fertilize the garden and orchard. Amazon has multiple listings with the best price (.39 per ounce) when you purchase a 6 pack. Has anyone else ever had molasses milk?
@IWantToCook you just stir in a spoonful of molasses in a cold glass of milk. I think chocolate syrup was pricier, so grandma and mom gave us molasses milk as a treat when I was a kid in the 60's. I am curious if anyone else got it as a treat.
It is the game changer when making ANZAC biscuits. Also used entirely as the sweetener/binding agent for flapjacks. By flapjacks, I mean the British oatmeal bar and not pancakes. Lyle's have the recipe for this.
Just an off the wall comment here. My father's hobby was beekeeping and from the late seventies to the early nineties I was forced labor - and labor it certainly is. We had seven hives on forty acres of clover and would normally take about sixty or so five gallon pails at the end of summer. It was brutal work. But what my post is about is the set up shots of honey in your video and my personal experience with honey from stores over the last two decades. Cover honey, if it is mostly pure clover honey( no honey is ever pure) , is a light straw color and has a very delicate flavor quite unlike other honeys from other plants. The stuff we buy as clover honey has NEVER been clover honey which makes me wonder what the marketers and corporations are up. In fact other honeys I've bought here in the states were strangely processed as far as my tastebuds could tell. My suggestion is the try small operations selling through farmers markets. If one gets the "real McCoy" it's a bit like Walmart beef versus Wagyu - a transformative re-evaluation of the product :) Alfalfa honey is also really good and quite subtle as well, but probably hard to find nowadays.
Thank you so much for your insight and the memories. I plan to seek out legit, from-the-beekeeper honey on my next farmers market outing. Coincidentally, I was treated to a honey tasting from a beekeeper during a visit to Franklin, Tenn., a couple of months ago. And you’re right: that real honey was mind-blowingly good! 👍
I'm 69 years old and cannot remember any time in my childhood in South Africa that we did not have Tate & Lyle golden syryp in the pantry. Mixed with butter and peanut butter was my favourite. I now live in Paraguay and make my own golden syryp.
Oh my!, I have to go find Golden Syrup now😆...my house is decorated All in the 1880s TEXAS style up to 1949. Roy Rogers/Old TX West...iron skillets to Paul Revere Copper bottom pans ...how do you make 'Golden Honey' if I cant find it in TX? 😆🤠
So I have yet to actually make it myself (maybe future video?) but I understand the process is to begin as you would simple syrup with equal parts sugar and water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve, add a little lemon juice or citric acid, and slowly boil without stirring until it turns golden brown and syrupy. Hope this works if you try it. And if not, there will is always Amazon 😀
Yes please... a Future Show! I bet you could use lemon or oranges or both at the same time! Yumm just watched an Aussie Farmers Wife make it. There's a technic to it!
I'm a little baffled that browned simple syrup would be comparable in price to honey. Sugar is extremely cheap. Collecting honey is a significantly more laborious process. The time and care for a single jar is months of effort. Am I missing something with this golden syrup?
You have to pay extra for the biblical quotes and dead lion on the front. I'm not joking; there is a dead lion and a biblical quote on the packaging. Seriously though, they charge extra for it maybe because it's the OG and they know people will pay more for that brand. Try it at least once; it has a delicious almost buttery taste. It comes in a tin (like a small paint tin, you lever open the lid) and you get quite a lot for your money. The bottle doesn't hold as much.

Molasses milk is a new one on me. I’ll have to look that one up 👍

I heard molasses has a bit of good things in it...bet it was better for you than plain chocolate milk too!
