But there’s more to tasty flapjacks than syrup alone. Here are some more tips to help you make the perfect flapjacks:

Don’t underestimate the power of baking paper. Lining your tin with baking paper makes it easier to remove the flapjacks, they’ll slide right out of the tin!

Rolled oats are your best friend when it comes to flapjacks. They are the best type of oats to help you achieve a chewy yet substantial texture.

Cooking time is a balancing act; you don’t want flapjacks that are too dry (overcooked) or too soggy (undercooked). Use the directions in your recipe, but perfectly cooked flapjacks should be golden-brown on top with a soft and chewy middle.

Give your flapjacks some time to cool completely and solidify before you cut into squares, this will help your flapjacks hold their shape.

Apples bring a delicious twist to traditional flapjacks, infusing them with a burst of fruity goodness and creating a harmonious balance of sweet and tangy flavours.

Plus – they’re a great way to use up your leftover apples!

Apple flapjacks are a delicious treat that can also contribute to a balanced diet. Eating apples is a good source of dietary fibre, which can help promote healthy digestion. They also provide essential vitamins—including vitamin C—and minerals like potassium.

What’s more, apples are relatively low in calories and fat compared to many other snack options. However, it’s important to note that individual nutritional needs may vary and—as always—moderation is key!

Apple flapjacks are the ultimate go-to snack for summertime vibes. They’re not just a treat; they’re a portable party in your lunchbox, at picnics, or wherever the summertime fun takes you!

Top tip: flapjacks can be frozen, but if they contain moist fruit like apples, then they may soften slightly when thawing.

Made from pure cane sugar, Lyle’s Golden Syrup adds a rich, golden touch that perfectly complements the wholesome flavours of the apple filling. Its velvety texture and distinct caramel notes create a luscious coating, enhancing every bite with heavenly, syrupy goodness.

If you’re not into the apple flapjacks idea, indulge in the deliciousness of our irresistible golden syrup flapjacks! Made with rolled porridge oats, they have a delightful chewiness that will have you coming back for more.

Picture a treat that combines the delicate crunch of honeycomb with the richness of chocolate – a match made in dessert heaven. In this article, explore the delectable world of chocolate honeycomb and learn how to make some delicious, buzz-worthy bites!

Before we dive into our favourite chocolate honeycomb recipes, let’s take a moment to understand what honeycomb is.

For anyone that doesn’t know, honeycomb is a popular sweet treat that’s light, airy, and crunchy. It’s made from caster sugar, golden syrup and bicarbonate of soda (also known as baking soda). Baking soda reacts with the sugar and golden syrup to create carbon dioxide air bubbles, which resemble a honeycomb texture – hence the name.

Honeycomb is an inviting golden-brown colour and has a sweet, caramelised flavour. This is a great treat on its own, but it’s also added to other dishes. Whether it’s dipping it in milk chocolate to create a gorgeous chocolate honeycomb or adding it to desserts like cake or ice cream, honeycomb is a versatile treat that can add gorgeous flavours and crunch.

You might be wondering about the differences between honeycomb and cinder toffee. Well, the truth is, they’re one and the same!

In the UK, you’ll often hear honeycomb referred to as cinder toffee. The name draws from its appearance – when it’s freshly made, it has a rough, bubbly texture and a light brown colour resembling cinders left behind by a fire.

Across the globe, honeycomb is known by a variety of different names. In Australia and New Zealand, it’s affectionately known as “hokey pokey”, while in America, you might hear it referred to as “seafoam candy”. Regardless of what it’s called, it’s an irresistible sweet treat that’s loved all over the world.

With just four simple ingredients, you can create a delectable treat that combines the sweetness and crunch of honeycomb and the velvety allure of chocolate!

Our chocolate-dipped honeycomb is super easy to make. Begin by gently heating Lyle’s Golden Syrup and caster sugar together until the sugar dissolves, then let this mixture simmer until it has a rich amber colour.

When you have the right colour, turn off the heat and add the bicarbonate of soda, mixing thoroughly until the honeycomb mixture stops foaming. Then pour the honeycomb mixture onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and leave it to cool and set.

Once it’s set, all you have to do is melt the chocolate, break up the honeycomb and dip it into the chocolate. Once the chocolate is set, you’ll be left with some scrumptious chocolate honeycomb! Check out our recipe for more information.

Now you know how to make chocolate honeycomb, it’s time to let your new-found skills shine with this recipe. This dessert is the perfect finale for any dinner party or meal. Indulge in the decadence of this silky-smooth chocolate mousse topped with the delightful crunch of chocolate-dipped honeycomb.

While standard honeycomb recipes are undeniably tempting, don’t be afraid to embrace a chocolate twist. These recipes use classic honeycomb, but why not try using our chocolate honeycomb instead to add another level of flavour?

Ginger parkin, a cherished ginger cake from Yorkshire, takes a delightful twist when crowned with honeycomb. With the warmth of ginger blending with the sweetness and crunch of honeycomb, this marriage of flavours will leave anyone who eats it wanting more.

Ginger’s warm and comforting flavours find the perfect companion with the sweetness of honeycomb. Enjoy the aromatic hints of ginger with the caramelised flavours of honeycomb.

As you prepare to dive into the world of honeycomb, remember the essential ingredient that brings your honeycomb to life – Lyle’s Golden Syrup. Its rich, smooth texture and unmatched flavours hold the key to creating the perfect honeycomb.

Before you start baking, don’t forget to stock up on Lyle’s Golden Syrup.

When it comes to delightful and easy-to-make desserts, few treats can rival the timeless appeal of a cornflake tart. This popular dessert has been a beloved classic for generations, evoking cherished memories of school dinners and family gatherings.

In this article, discover tips and tricks on how to make the perfect cornflake tart with our simple recipe.

Crafted with simplicity in mind, cornflake tart is a true crowd-pleaser that never fails to impress. Its combination of melt-in-the-mouth pastry, luscious jam, crunchy cornflakes and Lyle’s Golden Syrup creates a symphony of flavours and textures that will undoubtedly leave you wanting more.

Whether you’re looking for a great party treat or a delightful afternoon pick-me-up, a cornflake tart fits the bill perfectly. Plus, with its use of basic ingredients, you can easily whip up this scrumptious dessert whenever the craving strikes!

Creating your very own cornflake tart has never been easier. With our easy-to-follow recipe and these handy tips, you’ll breeze through the process.

Don’t overwork the pastry: Treat your pastry with care and avoid excessive kneading, as overworking the dough can result in a tough texture.

To achieve the perfect crust, maintain a cool environment when handling the pastry. Cold hands and chilling the dough in the fridge before baking will work wonders and prevent the butter from melting.

Pastry often shrinks when it cooks, but stretching the pastry as you place it in the tin will make it shrink even more, potentially making the sides of your tart too short and resulting in leaks. Leave a little pastry overhanging when you line your tart to prevent it from shrinking excessively.

Using too much flour when rolling out your pastry can cause it to dry out. Always brush off any excess flour before you start baking.

For even heat distribution, opt for baking/blind baking your tart on the middle shelf of the oven. This will help your pastry cook to perfection.

If you don’t have a lot of time, there’s no shame in using ready-made pastry!

Say farewell to soggy bottoms! Blind baking is the answer to flawlessly cooked pastry. When dealing with a wet filling, blind bake your pastry by pricking the base with a fork, then line the pastry with baking parchment and fill it with baking beans.

This simple technique ensures a crisp crust, setting the stage for your delightful cornflake tart to shine.

If you don’t have any baking beans, don’t fret! Uncooked rice works just as well.

The best part of a cornflake tart is undoubtedly the irresistible filling that will transport you back in time with each delectable bite.

To create this heavenly filling, start by melting butter, Lyle’s Golden Syrup, brown sugar and a pinch of salt together. Once melted, add the desiccated coconut and cornflakes and mix together, be gentle with the cornflakes to retain their delightful crunch.

Now comes the exciting assembly: Spread a layer of jam across the pastry base and gently press the cornflake mixture into the pastry case, and simply pop the cornflake tart into the oven and let it bake to perfection.

Once baked, indulge in a slice and relish the nostalgic flavours that will whisk you away down memory lane.

As you explore the delightful world of cornflake recipes, we have another mouth-watering treat for you to try – peanut butter cornflake nests! These delectable delights are the perfect combination of a snack and a sweet treat, making them an irresistible addition to your culinary repertoire.

No cornflake tart recipe is complete without Lyle’s Golden Syrup! This essential ingredient adds the trademark sweetness and caramel notes of this classic pudding.

Before you dive into creating your delectable cornflake tart, be sure to stock up on our famous Lyle’s Golden Syrup.

The vegan lifestyle is becoming increasingly popular, whether that’s for health reasons, personal preference, or to protect our planet’s glorious wildlife and animals – but it can be hard to know what food or ingredients are suitable for vegans.

In this article, discover whether Lyle’s Golden Syrup is vegan and share the story of our iconic brand.

Let’s get technical for a second; golden syrup is an inverted sugar syrup that’s made during the process of refining sugar cane to create sugar.

Essentially, when sugar cane is broken down to create sugar, it also creates a thick and sweet golden-coloured syrup that has a similar texture to treacle – this is the silky-smooth golden syrup we all know and love today!

The short answer is yes, Lyle’s Golden Syrup is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Our syrup is made from completely natural ingredients and doesn’t contain any animal products – it’s also a great alternative to honey!

Our golden syrup doesn’t contain any nasties like artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, and we also hold a Kosher and Halal certification. What’s more, our golden syrup is also:

• Free from fat and cholesterol

• Nut-free

• Gluten-free

• Milk-free

In fact, all our Lyle’s products are suitable for vegetarians and vegans – apart from Lyle’s Chocolate Flavoured Dessert Syrup, which contains skimmed milk powder.

Our story dates all the way back to 1881 when our founding father, Abram Lyle, built a sugar refinery by the River Thames in East London (still there to this day) and discovered that the process of refining sugar created a luscious golden syrup. He started selling it to local grocers in London and it continued to grow in popularity and become the kitchen cupboard staple it is today.

Our classic golden syrup tins still adorn the same authentic packaging and branding that Abram Lyle created – in fact, we were awarded a Guinness World Record in 2007 for the world’s oldest, unchanged brand packaging!

Now you know that Lyle’s Golden Syrup is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, take a look at our selection of scrumptious, golden syrup-infused vegan recipes.

Calling all baking enthusiasts and banana lovers! Get ready to dive into the world of banana bread – a delicious treat that’s captured the hearts and taste buds of food lovers everywhere.

In this article, uncover the secrets of what makes banana bread so special, including helpful tips, tricks and our yummy banana bread recipe.

Don’t be fooled by the name, this delightful treat is more than just your ordinary bread – it’s actually a cake in disguise! The reason it’s called banana bread is simply because it’s traditionally baked in a loaf tin.

At its core, banana bread is a delectable cake which is typically made from mashed bananas, flour, lemon juice, melted butter, eggs, and baking powder. However, don’t let this basic recipe hold you back! Banana bread recipes can vary widely, offering you the freedom to experiment and customise it to your liking.

For instance, let’s take a peek at our very own banana bread recipe, which includes a special golden twist.

In our version, we’ve incorporated chopped walnuts to add a lovely texture, replaced lemon juice with orange juice (which still gives you that refreshing citrus kick), and to top it all off, we have used our famous Lyle’s Golden Syrup to add a heavenly sweetness and flavour.

One of the main factors that contributed to banana bread’s widespread appeal is its accessibility. Unlike other intricate recipes that demand fancy machines and complex baking techniques, banana bread can be whipped up with basic kitchen tools.

Moreover, banana bread’s simplicity has led to it becoming a popular choice for novice bakers. With straightforward ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this delightful creation is a great starting point for anyone new to baking.

The rise of banana bread’s popularity particularly took flight during lockdown. With more time on their hands, people discovered the joy of baking, and banana bread quickly emerged as the go-to recipe. Its simplicity, combined with the abundance of over-ripe bananas on kitchen counters, made it a practical and delicious choice – and stopped all those bananas from going to waste.

When it comes to baking banana bread, you’ll be delighted to know that the equipment required is minimal. The only equipment you need is a mixing bowl, loaf tin, a wire rack, and a wooden spoon!

However, if you find yourself without some of these tools, fear not! There are alternative solutions that can still lead to banana bread bliss.

A wire rack plays a vital role in the cooling process of your baked goods, and if you plan on baking more, it’s definitely a worthwhile investment. But if you don’t have one just yet, don’t worry – there are other options available to make sure your banana bread cools properly.

The goal of a wire rack is for air to circulate around your baked goods, which helps them cool down quicker and stops condensation from forming, which stops your banana bread from going soggy.

Keeping this in mind, here are some other things you could use:

A rack from your oven: If you have a spare wire rack in your oven, this will work just as well as a standard cooling rack. Just make sure it’s clean!

A barbecue grill: If you have a barbecue with a removable wire rack, this is another great substitute. Again, make sure it’s clean before you use it.

A muffin tray: In a pinch, you can turn a muffin tray upside down and place your baked goods on top of the inverted cups.

While a loaf tin is the preferred choice when baking banana bread, don’t worry if you don’t have one – you can still make delicious banana bread with a standard cake tin.

But keep in mind that the size of the cake tin will affect the baking time. Essentially, a larger cake tin will result in thinner banana bread, requiring less time to bake in the oven. For a 9-inch (approximately 23cm) cake tin, aim for around 25 minutes in the oven. Just keep a close eye on it while it’s baking, as soon as a toothpick comes out clean when it’s inserted in the centre of your banana bread, it’s cooked.

Storing your banana bread properly is essential to help it maintain its freshness, as well as its tasty flavours and textures. To store banana bread, allow it to cool completely and place it in an airtight container, this will help to retain moisture and prevent your banana bread from drying out. Using this method, you’ll be able to enjoy your scrumptious banana bread for up to four days.

Absolutely! Freezing banana bread is a great way of preserving it, here’s the best way to do it:

1. Wrap your cooled loaf in aluminium foil.

2. Put it in a ziplock bag, helping to remove as much air as possible and prevent freezer burn.

3. Store it in the freezer for up to four months.

Top tip – write the date you baked your banana bread on the ziplock back, so you know how long it’s been in the freezer.

When you’re ready to enjoy your banana bread, simply:

1. Remove the loaf from the ziplock bag, keeping it wrapped in foil.

2. Place it on your kitchen counter to thaw.

A whole loaf can take up to 4 hours to thaw completely, so if you only have a portion to thaw, keep checking it every couple of hours.

Prepare for a delightful treat with our incredibly easy-to-make banana bread recipe. With just seven simple steps, you’ll be savouring every slice of this pure goodness in no time. And to take it up a notch, we’ve added a luscious glaze of Lyle’s Golden Syrup for that extra touch of pizazz and irresistible flavour.

We understand that everyone has their own preferences, so feel free to customise our recipe to suit your taste. Here are a couple of suggestions for inspiration:

If you’re not a fan of nuts or have a nut allergy, don’t worry! You can easily swap the walnuts out for something else. Consider adding dried fruits like raisins or even shredded coconut for a tropical twist.

There is only one thing better than banana bread, and that’s banana bread with chocolate chips! Chocolate chips are a great addition to your recipe, providing a whole new depth of flavour and a chocolatey surprise in every bite.

When it comes to baking the perfect banana bread, there’s one essential ingredient that takes it to the next level – Lyle’s Golden Syrup. Its rich, velvety sweetness adds a mouth-watering flavour to your creation – make sure you stock up before you start baking!

Indulging in a trifle is like diving into a symphony of textures and flavours. This timeless dessert has a remarkable ability to captivate the senses, plus it’s easy to make!

In this article, discover the layers that make up a traditional English trifle, explore delicious trifle recipes featuring Lyle’s Golden Syrup, and learn some handy tips and tricks.

A gorgeous medley of temptation; let’s explore the delightful components that make up this classic English treat.

The foundation of a heavenly trifle lies in the sponge cake or sponge fingers. Traditionally soaked in sherry or fortified wine, sponge cakes are the perfect canvas for soaking up the divine boozy flavours.

While staying true to tradition with a classic Victoria sponge cake is great, why not experiment with your trifle by trying some different sponge variations? From a zesty lemon drizzle loaf cake, our special chocolate sponge recipe, or our swish Swiss roll recipe, the possibilities are endless!

The combination of tasty jelly and juicy fruit adds a refreshing flavour to your trifle, perfectly complimenting the other layers of the trifle.

Whether you opt for a medley of juicy berries, tropical mangos, or tangy citrus fruits, the choice is yours. You could either incorporate the fresh fruit within the jelly itself or layer it throughout your trifle.

Ah, the custard layer – velvety bliss! This layer brings a luxurious richness to your trifle, adding a gorgeous sweetness and flavour to your pudding. To make things even easier, we have a super simple custard recipe that will take your dessert to new heights of indulgence.

No trifle is complete without its crowning glory – the dreamy whipped cream. Light, airy and oh-so-creamy, it’s the perfect finishing touch to your trifle that brings the whole dish together.

For a show-stopping trifle, prepare it a day in advance. This allows the flavours to mingle overnight and create a harmonious taste explosion. Plus, it gives you plenty of time to make all your components and allow your jelly to fully set. However, it’s best to add the whipped cream just before serving, to help your trifle maintain its luscious texture.

Once you’ve crafted your trifle, pop it in the fridge. It can stay in the fridge for 3-4 days, allowing you to savour your delicious dessert at your leisure.

Before you start layering your components into your trifle bowl, make sure all the trifle components (like your custard, sponge cake and jelly) have fully cooled down. This helps make sure each layer maintains its lovely flavours and textures.

When whipping your cream, be mindful not to overdo it. Whisk your double cream or whipping cream until you achieve stiff peaks, then stop. Overwhipping could result in a grainy cream or even butter, leaving you with a lumpy texture.

Trifles are an excellent canvas for your imagination. Feel free to break the rules and unleash your creativity. If custard isn’t your cup of tea, try replacing it with whipped cream. If you’re not a fan of jelly, simply use cake, custard and fruit to create your own unique twist . The possibilities are endless, so go ahead and experiment with flavours that resonate with you.

To take your trifle to the next level, consider adding a tantalising topping. We have a range of dessert syrups that can add some incredible bursts of flavour, choose from our delicious strawberry, chocolate, butterscotch or maple dessert syrups. And if you’re looking for a truly golden twist, drizzle Lyle’s Golden Syrup on top for a caramelised, buttery flavour that will leave everyone craving more.

This delightful recipe combines two British classics, resulting in a summer pudding that’s simply irresistible. Impress your guests with this stunning dessert that harmoniously blends layers of cream, meringue, strawberries, and delicate sponge cake. The Eton Mess Trifle is not only a feast for the eyes but also a heavenly treat that captures the essence of summertime.

This exquisitely spiced Coronation Plum trifle features plums and is sweetened with our glorious Lyle’s Golden Syrup, resulting in a dessert that’s as tasty as it is visually stunning. The marriage of warm spices, juicy plums, and the caramelised notes of golden syrup creates a symphony of flavours that will leave you wanting more.

Now armed with these tips and tasty trifle recipes, you’re ready to embark on your trifle-making adventure! Be sure to pick up some Lyle’s Golden Syrup and Lyle’s Dessert Syrups before you start constructing your trifle masterpiece.
