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.
For those of you who were wondering if adding the boiling water slowly is important, I have now experiences a sugar volcano on my stove that says yes. Yes it is.
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.
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.
I actually tried this earlier this day and my Mom said "this is a great consistency" thanks for advice's from the comment section and thank you very much for sharing this recipe 😃❤
I,m learning how to bake, and I’m starting with the basics: sauces, pastes, etc. I wanted to learn to make golden syrup and watched and tried many recipes, but they were all total disasters. I had lost all confidence until I found your video yesterday. I watched it a couple of times and then headed straight for the kitchen. And finally-success! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. The only one that truly works!
So glad to find your recipe. You saved my chocolate pecan pie which I just wouldn't have made with corn syrup. The golden syrup is so superior in flavor. Cheers!
Crazy, i rewatch this video and it bring my mind to the past memories back in high school at 2012. What a lovely, warm, and sweet moment in that past day. Thanks @Todd's Kitchen for being parts of my joyful child ☺
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. ;)
I had a recipe for golden syrup I found at an online recipe page. I just wasn’t motivated to slog through it and was considering ordering some Lyle’s Golden Syrup online. Then I stumbled upon the link for this video and my confidence soared. The proportions appeared to be very similar to what chef used here. So I gave it a go. Turned out lovely and I couldn’t be happier. Haven’t snacked on the candied lemons yet.
Todd, I've discovered a recipe for ANZAC biscuits and made them several times this past year. Golden syrup is a key ingredient for this wonderful confection and I've only been able to find it in the USA and British specialty shops or online. I appreciate this recipe very much as those ANZAC "Coconut Cookies" are absolutely delicious. Thank you very much! ... how about your recipe for ANZAC's?
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.
Thanks for the recipe. Never knew it was so simple. I tried it. But. after pouring it into a jar, after a while but later the syrup kind of solidified. Could you please advise; how to prevent this?
G'day Todd, I love your cooking, in the video you mentioned 100g sugar and 2 table spoon water but in your ingredients it's written 3TBSP water. so is it 2TBSp water or 3TBSP water? Thanks & cheers mate.
Thanks for posting this. Living in a country where I can't buy any syrups this is very helpful! I knew to make a sugar syrup to use in some things but never thought about how to make a golden syrup. Now I can make some recipes I haven't been able to make for a long time!
Todd! Thank you SO much for this! I am in South Korea, and I SO miss proper syrup, such as Lyle's Golden Syrup, for example. I hope this will taste a bit like Lyle's! ;) God bless!
I never dreamed of making my own Golden Syrup, moving back to the US this year, where Golden Syrup is not that available, I will be making this! Very useful.
@@bigbossadidoss8678 A lot of Aussies and Brits use Golden Syrup, its in many recipes like my Christmas Pudding and some biscuits, can also pour it on desserts, good on Ice Cream. I never made the recipe, managed to get it in some stores in the US, like Wegmans on the East Coast. I'm not back in Canada where it's everywhere so I can be lazy and not make it, knowing my culinary skills I'd probably screw it up anyway.
A blissful glow caught my vision as I started to ponder what matter would stay in such a sickly ( at least as it seemed ) container. 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. We don't even question...
Thanks very much for the recipe Todd :) only had 1 little problem, my first go ended up with the syrup being to hard when I let it cool, so I ajusted cooking time to 30mins and it came out perfect :)
I'm not sure if I missed something here but what are the proportions of water to sugar that you used? And have you ever tried this with brown sugar? Great video! Love your channel.
Rahmouchaaaaa I did look in there but CZcams has been playing up on my laptop and I couldn't scroll through the box far enough to see that. Looked on another pc and found it. Thanks for confirming it was there!
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.
I used to go to boarding school in Switzerland and on their breakfast buffet they had to syrup that we used to put on buttered bread. I have been looking for it for a long time but I think it may be golden syrup. All I know is that it had a distinct flavor. I'm going to try this recipe.
@@nadaghani8792 I dont know where you are from but every shop here has golden syrup and for 454g can is £1.15 ($1.50 usd)... Works out £2.50($3.27 usd) per kg. Considering the heat needed to make the product, I find it suitably priced.
@@Steven-hp4gb Ah, but you give you're prices in £. In the United States it's a specialty import so it's usually around $10+ for that size of container and often only found at specialty stores. I would bet lots of the people asking where to find it are from a country where it isn't as common an ingredient.
@@secretspy44 didnt know that. I honestly thought it was the cheap, fake version of honey or maple syrup for poor people. The only reason im here is because im out of maple syrup but i want pancakes
nikos t 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.
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.
This is awesome! I was looking for organic golden syrup and it's impossible to find in the US. Now I can just make my own and for much cheaper than buying non-organic Lyle's on Amazon.
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.
Dude, as water get warmer it expands, 1 litre of water at 4 degrees weighs 1kg, if it gets hotter it weighs less, colder it weighs more, Ive been a commercial heating engineer for thirty years, this is indeed very basic stuff.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for the video . My question is , could you add 1 or 2 Tablespoons of Maple flavoring to give the flavor of maple syrup. If you think it's a good idea, when would you add it into the batch you are making?
We love Rogers Golden Syrup, but we can get it only in Canada. I am so pleased to find this recipe! I'm going to try it today if I can find the proportions.
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?

The American conversions are--
First:
1/2 cup sugar
3 tbsp water
Second:
2.5 cups sugar
2.5 cups water
THANK YOU
it isnt you idiot
1 cup = 250 ml water
1/2 cup sugar = .....??? (How much)
Pliss help me for answer
Thank you
No, 236ml = 1 cup. 4 cups to a quart, less than a liter.
Bless your spirit! I am American! I was thinking, thank goodness for Google!

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.
What makes you the authority on syrup and not Todd?
@Mary Burt... LOL 🤗
Thanks for your dissertation!
Mary Burt hates education.
Thanks for that. Now guess who's recipe I am going to be using!
U are amazing I made this and it was absolutely amazing thanks for sharing
Doing it again cause I want to make Anzac biscuits. Gonna give all my friends home made golden syrup. Thanks Todd. A million and a half hits. wow.
300g boiling water.......300ml boiling water ?!?
Gm and cc or ml are = to the same amount !! so don't worry !!
rebeccafoo
Not if the water is hot it isnt.
hehehehehhe..lol...(Y)
Dude. Basic physics. Water has a density of 1g/cc. Therefore 300 ml = 300 g
Dude, as water get warmer it expands, 1 litre of water at 4 degrees weighs 1kg, if it gets hotter it weighs less, colder it weighs more, Ive been a commercial heating engineer for thirty years, this is indeed very basic stuff.
I'm a retailer for exotic and sacred plant based medicines in USA and I love how you use grams. It's so easy! America needs to catch on. Geesh.
Morgan Freeman I was teasing you, playful banter, not meant to be serious.
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.
The USA can do whatever they want mind your business
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.
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.
I'm so glad I watched this I dont understand why shop dont sell it whenever I see it in a shop I always shop there
love the video, never realised how easy this is.
andddd i burned it
That's ok, happens to the best of us. You just have to try again. Sugar is cheap and cleaning it out is your punishment. 😄
why do you have a grey forehead ?
Maxx U R RUDE
Thank you so much. It really work for me and I started addicted to it 😂
Thank you for the video . My question is , could you add 1 or 2 Tablespoons of Maple flavoring to give the flavor of maple syrup. If you think it's a good idea, when would you add it into the batch you are making?
We love Rogers Golden Syrup, but we can get it only in Canada. I am so pleased to find this recipe! I'm going to try it today if I can find the proportions.
Nice one Todd Thanx for posting, I'll be making this tomorrow
I did a project on caramelized sugar once :D it was fun as I ate so much of it
I love to cook. And I prefer homemade to . sounds wonderful. And knowing I can cook with it makes me excited.
Cheers Todd easy to follow ,clear voice , tastes great !! again ty pal 🙏
Thank you Todd! I live in the Canary Islands and find it hard to buy golden syrup. Can’t wait to try this!
I like you and the one pot chef , all these things our grandparents made so thank you very much xoxoxo
good stuff brother. Thanks for taking your valuable time to put this together for others.
Thanks for your videos, simple and I like it.
Do I need to use double pan method, Mr? I've seen other recepi before in the other channel
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?
THANKS! WHO KNEW this was so simple to make ?will be using this Golden Syrup for Old Fashioned Gingerbread Loaf.
