If you’re looking for a treasure trove of pancake recipes, ingredient inspiration, cooking tips, or even pointers for successfully flipping a pancake, you’ve come to the right place.

We’ve compiled the ultimate pancake ‘how to’ guide for everybody’s favourite flat cakes so that when Shrove Tuesday arrives, you’ll be perfectly prepared to cook up a storm with the help of Lyle’s Golden Syrup! 

In pancakes, the role of the eggs is essentially to bind the ingredients and provide the structure that’s needed for the pancakes to rise properly and be fluffy and flavoursome.

But what if you don’t eat eggs because of your dietary preferences or due to an egg allergy? Or what if you’ve run out of eggs and the shops are shut? Will you simply have to go without pancakes? Of course not!

Egg-free pancakes are a thing. You just need to find a suitable substitute for the eggs. Some of the more popular egg substitutes include:

• Pureed or mashed banana: ¼ to ½ cup = 1 large egg

• Chia or flax seeds mixed with water: 1 tablespoon of ground seeds + 3 tablespoons of water = 1 large egg

• Yoghurt: ¼ cup = 1 large egg

• Mayonnaise: 3 tablespoons = 1 large egg

• Applesauce (unsweetened): ¼ cup = 1 large egg

Although you will have subbed out the eggs, be sure to follow the rest of your chosen pancakes recipe exactly.

Traditionally containing dairy and eggs, pancakes as many of us know them don’t generally tend to be vegan-friendly.

However, there are loads of brilliant vegan-friendly pancake recipes out there that call for alternative, plant-based ingredients, so there’s no need for vegans to miss out on the joy of pancakes.

There are quite a few differences between American pancakes and English pancakes, although both are undoubtedly delicious.

Where traditional English pancakes are more like crêpes (i.e., light and thin with a wrinkled surface), American pancakes tend to be fluffier, thicker, lighter, and much more stackable! American Pancakes are usually made with buttermilk instead of milk (buttermilk is thicker) and they also often include a raising agent – typically baking powder. Take a look at our fluffy pancake recipe, perfect for producing the classic American pancake.

If you’re looking to add a bit of extra flavour to your American-style stacks, check out our Apple Cinnamon Stateside Pancakes recipe.

Watch the video and follow the pointers below to master the art of flipping a pancake!

•Tip the pancake close to the edge of the pan before you flip

•Commit to the flip – confidence is key

•Remember, it’s all in the wrist!

Next you need to decide what to put on your pancakes, or what to serve them with. Here are some popular options.

A classic British recipe, crêpe-style pancakes with lemon and Lyle’s Golden Syrup is one of the nation’s favourite ways to enjoy pancakes! Check out our Classic Crêpe Pancakes recipe for pancakes with a side of nostalgia. Why not sprinkle on some sugar for a little extra something sweet?

You know what’s better than pancakes? Pancakes with chocolate in them, of course! If you’ve not yet tasted the blissful union of pancakes and chocolate, it’s time to rectify that. Once you’ve made your preferred style of pancakes, simply grab a handful of chocolate chips and scatter over your pancakes. Or, you can choose to bake the chocolate chips in to the batter.

Fruit is a popular addition to pancakes. If you’re partial to a blueberry or two, our easy Blueberry and Buttermilk Pancakes recipe calls for just 5 ingredients and take no time at all to make – perfect if you’re looking for a no fuss, no muss recipe.

Kick things up a notch with bananas caramelised in butter and Lyle’s golden syrup for pancakes with an extra gooey sweetness. Plus, with a handful of crushed hazelnuts stirred in with the bananas you get an extra little crunch to each bite.

Not to mention, it’s a big favourite amongst the kids and thanks to this handy guide, you’ll find it’s quick and easy to make! If you’ve ever wondered how to make caramel, you’ve come to the right place.

Caramel is made by heating a variety of sugars, and it can be used as a flavouring in puddings and desserts.

In this article, we’ll delve deeper into the art of making caramel, and you’ll be a pro before you know it.

Different types of caramel are made with the following basic ingredients:

1) Milk, cream, and condensed milk to help make a lovely light-coloured caramel sauce to drip over your desserts.

2) Lyle’s Golden Syrup, sugar, and molasses will provide the sweet taste caramel is best known for.

3) Oil and butter help give your caramel a smoother, softer texture which makes coating things i.e., nuts easier.

The milk or condensed milk is used to prevent your caramel from turning to hard candy. If you want your caramel to turn to hard candy, don’t add the milk or condensed milk!

The beauty of caramel is that not every single one is the same, the sugary based means this sweet sauce is versatile with its flavours and consistency. Toffee, caramel, and butterscotch are 3 classic dishes that all come from a very similar recipe.

But what makes them all different?

Caramel is a type of candy that is created by heating white granulated sugar. Other ingredients such as butter, milk and vanilla are commonly added to produce a beautifully thick, creamy caramel which is used in a variety of sauces, drizzles, candies and classic caramel apples.

Butterscotch is a softer candy than caramel, made by heating butter and brown sugar together. The brown sugar molecules break down and create a richer, deeper flavour than your classic caramel dishes.

Toffee is quite simply butterscotch which has been heated for longer to reach the hard-crack sugar stage. While butterscotch is cooked to a soft-crack stage, toffee is created by cooking that same mixture for longer to reach the hard-crack stage.

Caramel can be found in the base of some of the most delicious recipes and learning how to make it from scratch can give that authentic taste we’re all looking for. You can use our caramel recipes to create a selection of Lyle’s recipe’s such as:

We have a quick and easy caramel recipe that delivers an extra gooey and delicious sweet sauce in three very simple steps.

To make a chocolate caramel sauce you can stir in chopped chocolate and mix until the chocolate is fully melted. By adding dark chocolate, you can add a super-rich and deep flavour which is perfect for those chocolate lovers out there. Don’t worry if you’re not a fan of dark chocolate, you can always add milk chocolate instead.

Fancy a strawberry caramel sauce? Cook some fresh strawberries with a little bit of water and lemon juice and puree until smooth. Once the sugar has melted in your caramel making process you can stir in the prepared strawberry puree for a fruit burst of flavour.

There are two ways of making caramel, dry and wet. The dry method involves heating sugar in a dry pan until it liquifies and browns. This process involved a lot of attention as the sugar can darken quickly and less evenly. The wet process of making caramel involved moistening the sugar in the pan with a little water, the water helps distribute the sugar to promote even browning.

You may choose to use the wet method if you wish to incorporate different flavours into the caramel. The wet method allows for this as the water prolongs the total time the sugar is heated giving your flavours more time to develop. This method also allows for more control over the colouring of the caramel.

Little tip: if your caramel crystallises you can remove the mixture from the heat, add a few tablespoons of water, return it to the heat, and stir until the crystals dissolve before continuing.

Now you’ve perfected the caramel making process you might be wondering how you can take it to the next level. We’ve highlighted some flavour variations to help get your imagination going:

• Salted caramel
• Bourbon caramel
• Chocolate caramel
• Almond caramel
• Blood orange caramel

This is to list just a few different flavour variations – as long as you can find the flavour you’ll be able to add it to your caramel.

It depends on what you want your caramel to turn out like, if you’re wanting to create a lighter shade of brown, orange then you can substitute the brown sugar out for white sugar. Most people find that using brown sugar allows for more flavour. Just keep an eye out not to burn it.

For those of you that follow a vegan diet, we’ve created a vegan alternative recipe to fulfil your sweet tooth. We’ve made sure that the taste and texture resemble traditional caramel, so we’ve got your cravings covered.

Seeing as Lyle’s Golden Syrup is already vegan we just needed to swap out the butter and milk.

• 113g vegan butter
• 200g light brown sugar
• 150g cup of golden syrup
• 3oz full-fat coconut milk
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

If you find that your caramel is too thin, then you can continue to simmer the caramel on a medium heat for 5-10 minutes to thicken it. Bear in mind that your caramel will continue to darken at this point, so it’s important to keep a close eye on it.

Keep in mind as well that the caramel will significantly thicken once it has been completely cooled. So, if you find that your caramel is too thick, you can thin the mixture by stirring a tablespoon or two of heavy cream back into the mixture.

You can test to see whether your caramel is done by having a bowl of cold water (we recommend adding ice cubes if you have them to hand) and then using a spoon, remove some of the mixture from the pan, immerse the spoon into the cold water, moving the spoon and then remove from the water and test the caramel with your fingers to check if it is done.

Caramel can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks once it has been made. Your caramel will be safe at room temperature on things like cakes or brownies for up to 3 days. You can also freeze your sauce, which will last for up to 3 months.

Don’t forget that caramel is an extra-delicious addition to a lot of already-tasty desserts, such as:

…to name just a few!

We hope this guide has helped you make the most scrumptious caramel you’ve ever tasted! Now that you know how to successfully make caramel like a pro, be sure to pass this guide along to your family and friends!

You might wonder why we insist on adding Lyle’s Golden Syrup to your biscuits. The syrup’s golden hue is a promise of the deLUSHious taste that awaits. It adds a unique, slightly caramelised sweetness that sugar alone just can’t deliver. Plus, it keeps your biscuits wonderfully moist and chewy. Trust us on this, once you’ve tried it, there’s no going back!

Baking the perfect golden syrup biscuits involves a few simple but crucial steps. Here are some fresh tips to ensure your biscuits turn out just right every time:

Make sure your butter is soft but not melted. It should be at room temperature so it creams well with the sugar.

Line your baking trays with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking. Alternatively, you can swap parchment paper for silicone baking mats. They provide even heat distribution and prevent your biscuits from sticking.

Use a kitchen scale for precision. Baking is a science, and the right ratios make all the difference.

When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix until everything comes together. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.

Use cutters for your biscuits to ensure they’re all the same size. This helps them bake evenly and look more professional.

Halfway through baking, rotate your baking trays. This helps achieve an even golden-brown colour, especially if your oven has hot spots.

Roll your dough to an even thickness. If some biscuits are thicker than others, they won’t bake evenly.

Enter ginger flapjacks – the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, ideal for those looking to mix things up and tantalise their taste buds with something a little different. Keep reading to learn all about these tasty treats!

Ginger is a powerhouse ingredient known for its distinctive, warming spice. Its unique flavour profile can transform a simple recipe into an indulgent treat.

Adding ginger to your flapjacks is a game-changer. The sweet, buttery oats are perfectly balanced by the zingy warmth of ginger, making every bite an explosion of flavour. It’s the ideal treat when you need something indulgent or simply when you want to enjoy a snack that’s a little out of the ordinary.

Ginger is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties and digestive benefits. Including it in your baking not only adds a delicious twist but also gives you a boost of these health perks.

There are several creative ways to add ginger to your flapjacks, each offering a unique flavour and texture:

• Ground ginger: This is the most straightforward method. Adding ground ginger to your oat mixture infuses every bite with a consistent, warming spice.

• Stem ginger: For a more intense and chewy ginger experience, add chopped stem ginger. This not only gives bursts of ginger flavour but also adds a delightful texture contrast.

• Fresh grated ginger: Fresh ginger offers a sharper, more vibrant ginger kick. Grate it finely to distribute the flavour evenly throughout the flapjacks.

For the best results, add your choice of ginger to the butter and golden syrup, then heat gently to melt the butter. After that, put the oats in and mix thoroughly before placing the mixture into a tin lined with baking parchment.

Experimenting with different types of ginger can also provide a layered flavour profile. For instance, combining ground ginger with fresh grated ginger can create a deep, rich spice that’s both warming and refreshing.

The zing of lemon and aromatic notes of ginger not only complement the sweetness of brown sugar and Lyle’s Golden Syrup—they also provide a refreshing twist that cuts through the richness of buttery flapjacks.

Don’t stop at ginger! Why not try incorporating other fun ingredients to give your flapjacks a twist? Think of adding a handful of chocolate chips, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even a swirl of peanut butter.

Adding fruits like dried cranberries or apricots can also enhance the texture and flavour of your flapjacks. For a nutty crunch, consider mixing in some chopped nuts or seeds. The possibilities are endless and guaranteed to keep your flapjacks exciting and delicious.

With their delightful appearance and delicious taste, these biscuits bring a sense of nostalgia to any kitchen. Keep reading to learn all about jammy biscuits and how you can make your own batch.

• Roll out your dough on a lightly floured surface to until it’s about 3mm thick. Make sure it’s a consistent thickness all over as this will help the biscuits cook evenly.

• After shaping the dough, chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes, which will help the biscuits hold their iconic shape while baking.

• Don’t feel like you have to use raspberry jam. Experiment with different flavoured jams like strawberry, blackberry, cherry or gooseberry to switch up your biscuits.

• Preheat the oven before baking your biscuits. This is really important because it helps them cook evenly, get that nice pale, golden-brown colour and ensures the recipe turns out just right every time.

• Bake the biscuits and place them a wire rack to cool. This lets air flow underneath the biscuits helping them cool down quickly.

• Leave the biscuits to cool completely before adding the jam; otherwise, the jam will melt and create a mess.

• Store your biscuits in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crisp!

In this article, discover three of our favourite apple-based recipes to delight your friends and family.

When the warmer months arrive, there’s nothing more invigorating than biting into a crisp, refreshing apple. However, apples are also fantastic in a variety of baking recipes, helping to bring a unique twist with their sharp, powerful juices.

The best part? There are dozens of seasonal apple varieties at your fingertips: Bramley apples, Granny Smiths, Pink Lady… the list goes on. Each of these varieties has its own unique flavour and texture, leading to endless possibilities when creating apple recipes.

Some apples, such as Braeburns, are more suitable for baking, while other (Fujis for example), can be plucked straight from the tree and eaten there and then.

What’s more, Lyles Golden Syrup serves as the perfect accompaniment to apple-based desserts, helping to elevate and accentuate the deliciously sweet undertones of your treats, from apple crumble to apple pie and everything in between.

They say, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” and while we can’t guarantee these recipes will do that, we can promise they’ll add a sweet, sugary, golden syrupy twist to your day!

Here are three of our favourites.

Remember those balmy summer evenings at the fun fair? These tremendous toffee apples will whisk you straight back to those days.

Perfect for adults and children alike, the recipe is straightforward and brilliant fun to make. Briefly boil the apples, twist off the stalks and stick some wooden ice lolly sticks into the cores. Next, cook up some delicious toffee using our Golden Syrup before twirling in your apples. The result? Dripping, sticky, golden goodness.

Combining two classically British recipes, these easy apple pie flapjacks are entirely unique. Melt butter, Tate & Lyle Light Muscovado Sugar and Lyle’s Golden Syrup in a saucepan, alongside a dash of salt and some oats.

Leave to cool before adding some scrumptious apples, walnuts and cinnamon. Once baked until golden, leave them to cool. Serve alongside whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or custard, and you’ll have a new favourite flapjack recipe at your disposal.

When it turns a lovely brown hue, it’s time to take it out. Finally, leave them to cool and hey presto, you’ve got yourself some delicious flapjacks!
