There is a tip however - if you boil it under cover at low heat for longer, you might get syrup that is more caramelized, but still stable. For normal, golden syrup, 2-4h at very low heat is optimal. Suggest doing it in large batches for heat efficiency - I use 3 kg sugar for each.

You can brush the pan sides with a damp pastry brush and not use the lemon, but it's a lot more involved and you'll need to keep brushing the sides with water throughout the cooking process. The lemon wedge prevents the sugar from crystallising, but it doesn't flavour the syrup.

I made this golden syrup but it consolidated. What did I do wrong?
@BlackCatKitchen10 ай бұрын
I’m not exactly sure. When you say consolidated, do you mean it was a solid mass? If so, it will have been cooked too long. But if you mean crystallised, there could be a few different reasons. I always pour the water around the edge of the pan, as it creates a little dam so the sugar doesn’t creep up the sides. If you notice some of the mixture above the level of the water on the insides of the pot, these can burn and cause the rest of the mix to seize. A way to prevent this is using a pastry brush and occasionally brushing cool water along the inside edge of your pan. You always want to make sure you’re using a stainless steel or glass pan, and a wooden or silicone utensil, as the sugar mix can react to other metals. I hope this helps 😻😻❤️
