      Glad I found this, cane syrup is getting crazy expensive here in Georgia, and impossible to find pure cane syrup in the grocery stores. This should be a good cheap replacement for sopping my biscuits.

      Gretchen Gustafson allow the sugar solution to cool first, then slowly add the water. just think, if you're adding 100C water to 150C caramel, the water is going to start turning to steam instanstly and cause instability in the pan and spurting molten hot globules of caramel everywhere!!! and you don't want that!

    What the lemon actually does is speed up the hydrolysis reaction of splitting the sucrose into glucose and fructose. The resulting product, invert sugar, is much favoured by bakers not only because of its sweeter taste but also because it imparts water retaining properties to the finished baked product. It also is less prone to crystallisation than regular sucrose.

  • @moonlightdelights
    @moonlightdelights 9 лет назад +62

    For the sugar phobics and diabetes uneducated Golden syrup is used as a flavoring in baking and other recipes. The amount used for example in baking a large batch of biscuits (cookies) is about a tablespoon sometimes a little more. So if you calculate the amount of sugar in a tablespoon of the syrup it is not a large amount as I said it's the rich almost burnt caramel flavor you are after. If you are wanting to drink it or poor it on food I'm pretty sure you will not be able to eat much it has a strong flavor and of course it's very sweet but spread very very thinly on hot buttered English crumpets it can be rather nice.

    you forgot to mention, that between the beginning stages and the caramel stage, the sugar kinda dries out in the pan and solidifies, keep stirring, as it will golden and turn to liquid, then proceed with the recipe

      That only happened because you accidentally caused it to crystallize. It's a common issue, usually caused by introducing a lower temperature object into the hot sugar solution (e.g, a non-heated metal spoon).

      This is not how golden syrup is made at all, this is a substitute that looks like golden syrup and works well as a substitute but it has never tasted the same (I have made it like this a few times). If you have never tasted Tate and Lyles Golden Syrup, you will never know what you are actually missing.

    Thank you, Todd! You have no idea how many of the ingredients used into international cooking do not exist in the United States. When I first heard of it, I looked up the US equivalent and found-- NOTHING. No equivalent. Now, watching this, I see why. But, thanks to you, I can make my own. So, it's basically caramelized sugar, with more sugar added. Cool. Next up? Treacle. ;)

    This also works by caramelizing the full amount of sugar all at once. I only let it go a pale amber colour though, which means watching it very carefully, and then slowly adding in the remaining boiling water. and a dash of lemon juice.

  • @phillipmckenzie2368
    @phillipmckenzie2368 4 года назад +1

    We know what you meant: Get the sugar nice and wet. The addition of the lemon in preventing crystallizatation is a really important point. It’s the acid in the lemon that aids the process which “inverts” the sugar. Sucrose is a disaccharide, made up of two different individual sugar molecules attached together - in this case, glucose and fructose. Invert sugar is made by breaking the bonds between the glucose and fructose, resulting in a solution of half free glucose and half free fructose. Temperature is another factor; if you want to be super-nerdy you can use a candy thermometer to bring the sugar to 114 degrees Celsius.

My anticipation grew into pother causing me to grab the receptacle and flick the lid open in one quick snap. I settled my lips onto the containers tip and gently squeezed causing the golden nectar to flow out and hit my craving tongue. The taste was nirvana as it slid down my throat and through my body. Oh what joy I will have when I ( hopefully ) enter Valhalla at my end of time in this mortal place.

    100 g sugar, 3 tbs water and caramelise. Then pour 300 g or 300 ml boiling water, then dissolve 1/2 kg sugar. Pop in a slice of lemon or lime, I sometimes put 2 tbs strained lemon juice, just to take the edge off the sweetness. You could even add a 1/2 tsp vanilla too. It’s your syrup, and you can do anything you want with it. For those of you who did not access the recipe, you can thank me later. This is an excellent video, short and to the point, and works beautifully, if you follow the instructions.

    Todd friend can i use brown sugar to make golden syrup?

    • @Nicholas.Tsagkos

      Hi Nicos… I was wondering about this as well. Although the recipe produces something that looks just like Golden Syrup, it just doesn’t quite taste the same; which is the most important thing to me. If you look up golden syrup on Winkipedia you will see why. I might try a mix of white and light / dark brown sugar, when I can figure out what to do with the batch I have just made from this recipe.

    • @Nicholas.Tsagkos
      @Nicholas.Tsagkos 9 лет назад

      Brian Kathy i do it with cane brown sugar and it's fine...
      not so light gold colour ...it's more dark...and tastes stronger...but it worked...i prefer cane....i think it's not GMO like most beet is.

    That is not how you make golden syrup and lemons do not prevent further caramelisation. In fact they will increase caramelisation, as I will explain.
    What golden syrup is, is a partially inverted sugar syrup, in which some of the fructose is caramelised. As fructose is sweeter than table sugar, golden syrup is incredibly sweet and will remain as liquid at lower temperatures making it suitable for certain recipes.
    How you would do this would be to put the whole lot of your sugar, 500g is good, in the pan with a small amount of water, say 100ml. To this you would add a teaspoon of lemon juice or a quarter teaspoon of citric acid (better with citric acid, because it has less effect on flavour. lemon more easily obtainable).
    Bring your sugar/citric acid/water to the boil and simmer. As the solution is simmering the citric acid will be breaking the sucrose (sugar) molecules down into glucose and fructose sugars, creating what is known as "invert syrup". Now heres where it gets fun. Fructose has a much lower caramelisation temperature than either the original sugar or the glucose. Fructose will caramelise at around 105-108 degress C or higher. It will also start to burn at a lower temperature than sugar, around 110C so we have to be very careful that we don't let the syrup get too hot.
    As the water in the syrup boils off, the temperature of it will start to rise above 100C. At this point you will see that a golden colour will start developing in the syrup. You want the syrup to go up to between 105-108C and no higher. I find it is best to use a sugar thermometer for this syrup as the fructose will burn and is unhealthy if it goes above 110C. I like to keep the syrup around the 105C mark. You can take the pan off the heat and allow the syrup to cool, then return it. You can do this a few times, to get that really golden colour. Making sure all the time not to let it burn.
    Then when you are satisfied with the colour, add another 100ml of water to make the syrup runnier and to prevent it from setting into an extremely viscous toffee. You can bring it back up to simmer if you want, but don't boil off too much water as you want the syrup to be workable.

      Morgan Freeman Please learn the difference between: there and they're. Your comments are way 'over the top' as Jeffrey Rynearson makes a good point about America needing to catch on. They could also catch up with paper sizes, weights and temperature. Get with the rest of the world, USA, or you'll be left behind.

    • @Hedeyasu2
      @Hedeyasu2 9 лет назад +3

      Jeffrey Rynearson Maybe its just me, but I find the metric measuring system a lot harder. Its so much easier to just dip in a measuring cup and pour it out into a bowl or whatever rather than having to actually get the weight right. I guess its better if you don't have the measuring tools, but it doesn't seem like too much of a hassle to buy them if you want to cook.

    • @hyperionsolomon
      @hyperionsolomon 9 лет назад +3

      Hedeyasu2 That makes sense, but one thing is amiss here. Weight is different, one cannot use a measuring cup to weight things. Those are two different things you've got going there man.

    This did not work until I watched a few other golden syrup tutorials. The first step of the sugar and water, either burned or turned back into sugar crystals. But it would not get that beautiful coloring.
    The other videos I watched said after the first initial stir to combine, do NOT stir the sugar and water. I tried it that way, and just like magic it got that caramelized color, and did not burn.
    Hope this helps anyone else having the same problems

My mam was always finding me dipping a spoon into the tin of Lyons Golden Syrup kept in the pantry. Then adulthood kicked in and it was 'This isn't good for you', ' That's not good for you ', ' We should take less sugar in our diets '. But I loved syrup on thick chunks of white, heavily buttered bread, lol. I can taste it now.

    OK, I made this and it was very successful so thanks for sharing. I have a question though; The lemon prevents crystallization of the sugar, which is great but the syrup tastes a bit citrus when done. I don't really want that. Is there any other kind of acid that does the job but will not impart a flavour to the syrup?
