Questions about Syrup
How do you make simple syrup for drinks?
Warm equal weights of sugar and water in a small pan, stirring until the sugar dissolves; take it off the heat before it boils, then cool. Keep it in a clean, sealed bottle in the fridge.
How do you stop syrup crystallising when you cook it?
For a sugar syrup, dissolve the sugar fully before bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Brush any sugar crystals from the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush, and avoid stirring once it starts boiling.
How should you store syrup after opening?
Keep commercial syrup tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard unless its packaging says it needs refrigeration. Homemade simple syrup is more perishable: refrigerate it in a clean, sealed container and discard it if it turns cloudy or develops an off smell.
What can you put syrup on besides pancakes?
Drizzle it over porridge, yoghurt, fruit or waffles, or stir a little into tea, coffee or a cold drink. Golden syrup is also used in flapjacks and treacle tart; maple syrup is a classic topping for pancakes.
What can you use instead of syrup in baking?
For a recipe that needs a liquid sweetener, honey can often replace syrup spoon for spoon, though it brings its own flavour and may brown more quickly. For flapjacks, golden syrup helps bind the oats, so a dry sweetener such as sugar is not a direct swap.
Is syrup more calorific than sugar?
Per 100 g, sugar has 406 kcal, compared with 301 kcal in syrup. Syrup contains water, which makes it less energy-dense by weight; a spoonful can still add plenty of sweetness.
What is the difference between golden syrup and maple syrup?
Golden syrup is made from sugar cane or sugar beet and has a buttery, caramel-like flavour; maple syrup is made by concentrating sap from maple trees and tastes more woody. They can often be swapped as a topping, but their different flavours matter in baking.
