    If you are going to the trouble to make Golden Syrup, you should reward yourself with Golden Syrup Dumplings served with custard and cream. Another great treat is Golden Syrup steamed pudding.

      Same - when I lived in Canada! If you want to bake a British flapjack or treacle tart, then there's no other substitute to golden syrup! I know some Great British Baking Shows include bakes with golden syrup, so hopefully this recipe will help a few looking to bake some British treats at home!! 💖😻

      Yes, I am hoping to return to YT soon and started working on a return video yesterday. I needed a break from YT and I actually started working with Ryan in his business earlier this year which was unexpected. I needed to learn how to use a camera and had no idea how to use one to take quality pictures, lol. It has just been busy.
      How are you and Mr. Editor? How are Gordon & Kiki? Vader and Salem are well. Vader had some health issues that weren't getting better and I switched vets, and I found out recently that he is in the very, very early stages of kidney failure. I have switched his food and I give him medication daily.
      I hope you are well! I need to catch up on so many of your videos 😊

      It's not as dark as a caramel would be; it's closer to a light, thick corn syrup! But yes, you're right! It's the long and slow process that creates this golden syrup. The lemon slice just helps to prevent the mixture from crystallising. If you give this a try, let me know how you get on!! 💖😻

    O wow I've never before seen golden syrup being made. Looks a similar method to toffee and Hokey pokey.
    Golden Syrup is readily available on Australian supermarket shelves and it's relatively cheap to buy whereas Treacle isn't! Just love all those syrupy things. Molasses I have in porridge and golden syrup on crumpets and toast and malt in hot milk for a wonderful 'pick me up'.
    It's a great alternative to maple syrup on pancakes too.

      I'm fresh out of crumpets here. But I will have some GS on buttered toast this morning with my cuppa tea.
      The availablity issue is because of the demographics. Canadians prefer Maple syrup as do the yanks. I don't know where golden syrup originated, but I'm sure it was invented as an alternative to maple being so hard to obtain in some countries and also the price.
      I know it is used a lot in Australian cooking and as a spread. A bushies breakfast consisted of fresh hot coals baked damper drizzled with golden syrup alongside a Billy Tea. So it's been around quite some time.

    I made this golden syrup but it consolidated. What did I do wrong?

    • @BlackCatKitchen
      @BlackCatKitchen  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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 😻😻❤️

If the temperature goes above 250F (120C), it'll enter the "hard ball" stage, whereby the mixture will solidify once it cools.

      When you cook the syrup mixture low and slow for 40 - 60 minutes, it's always worth checking the temperature every now and again to ensure it doesn't exceed 240 - 250F (115C - 120C). If the temperature goes above 250F (120C), it'll enter the "hard ball" stage, whereby the mixture will solidify once it cools. If you check my video again, you'll see I checked the temperature of the mixture. Once the mixture cools, it should resemble the consistency of corn syrup. Essentially, if you cook the mixture for too long, at too higher temperature, or too fast, it'll turn to toffee/a solid mass. I hope you'll try my recipe again!! 💖😻

    Mine turned out like toffee. I guess I cooked it for too long 😞

      @@BlackCatKitchenSo what can one do with the toffee? If you can pour it out right away, is it salvageable?

      @@jvallas - If the mixture reaches or exceeds the "hard ball" stage and turns to a toffee, while it's still warm, I'd suggest pouring it out onto a lined baking sheet and letting it harden completely. I'd then break up the toffee and pulse it through a food processor to create sugar dust for cakes, bakes and anything you want to sweeten. That's really all you can do if you overheat the mixture. I hope that helps! 💖

    Great video but misleading title. I though great I can make it in 5 minutes where in reality it's gonna take an hour.

      As a small creator, unfortunately we have to play the TH-cam game in order to grow our channels, which means creating enticing, interesting and clickable titles! However, I never use clickbait, and the title isn't completely misleading, as it's only 5 minutes of actual hands on work. I mention this in the video description. 😺 The rest of the time is just waiting for the mixture to come up to temperature! I hope that helps clarify things and thank you so much for watching!! 💖😻

    The music ruins this otherwise lovely video. Please consider that we don't all find the music you like, pleasant. Also, what's wrong with just cooking noises and instructions? Seriously, so annoying.
    It's just my opinion, and it's your channel, but many people, myself included, will never subscribe to a channel we have to be annoyed by in order to get the information the video provides.

      Thanks for the feedback! The background music was a little loud in this video and for the last 6 months or so, we've been reducing the volume of the background music. If you watch one of my latest episodes, you'll see what I mean! Most food channels opt for background music to fill in quiet spaces, and cooking noises with instructions can be really tricky to manage with microphones and noise levels, especially if a dish is particularly noisy e.g. braising meat! Hopefully you'll check out my more recent videos and find them more suitable! Thanks again! 💖😻

      @@BlackCatKitchen consider using no music! I watch many cooking videos and not a one of them uses music. I agree with the other person - music is annoying and sooooo unnecessary!

      @@rosemary20001 - For the food channels you watch that do not use background music, does the person on camera talk all the time, or do they incorporate a voiceover too? I used to talk to the camera when cooking (in my oldest videos!), but to be honest, voiceover is so much clearer and easier! Plus, I can re-record sections when I make mistakes! 😹 Thanks for the feedback! 💖

    Not too sure about those 5 minutes 😂

      As mentioned in the description, it's 5 minutes of hands on work. You leave the mixture to cook for 40-60 minutes, and then just check it with a thermometer!
