Lyle's Golden Syrup Original

Along with toast and marmalade I have another favourite food. It happens to be my Mum's lovely pancakes topped off With Lyle's syrup! I could eat them every day but my Mother won't make them cos they're so bad for us! We usually have a tin of the original Lyle's syrup (tin) sat in our cupboard as not only do I like we like it on pancakes but I'm rather fond of porridge too and it's not the same without syrup in and on it! However my Mum got a bottle of this the other for us to try and I was rather excited at the thought of using a squeezy syrup! lol. Ok small things please small minds...

I do a lot of baking at home and at the moment one of my most frequent recipes is flapjacks which calls for golden syrup in abundance.

Lyle's is the only brand I think of whenever I hear the words 'golden' and 'syrup' in the same sentence, so needless to say, when I discovered their squeezy bottle of golden syrup, I couldn't wait to try! Packaging: The syrup comes in a reasonably tall, clear plastic bottle. On the top there is a little golden coloured plastic lid, making it look a little more sophisticated and pricey. Wrapped around this bottle there is a green plastic label, holding the Lyle's label. If you give the bottle a squeeze you can feel it is not going to be a bother to pour. And as expected, when I removed the cap and squeezed the bottle (this time onto a spoon for ...  Read the complete review
