Syrup versus Treacle
A few days ago I had a discussion over a syrup sponge (sponge pudding topped with golden runny syrup) which someone else called a treacle sponge. I said if it was treacle it would have been black because treacle is black stuff and syrup is golden.
"What about treacle tart?" he said. "That's not black!" He was right. It isn't. But the golden stuff is syrup and treacle is black stuff............isn't it?

Re: Syrup versus Treacle

Which is the best though? I reckon neither of 'em! For me it has to be maple syrup.

Re: Syrup versus Treacle
Now then Willow, This is a bit of a sticky subject - syrup or treacle.
You use Syrup for: Butties, Puddings & Porridge You use Treacle for: Sticky Treacle Toffee & Cake |

Would that be with pancakes & vanilla ice-cream??  Love Syrup sponge with loads of custard, but also love treacle tart, treacle toffee and parkin, anything sweet will do for me. Unfortunately these things tend to pile on the pounds. Syrup is definately golden and treacle black. I would hazard a guess that the treacle lightens in colour during the cooking of treacle tarts..

Re: Syrup versus Treacle
You reckon I'm on a sticky wicket with this Doug?
Ohoh maple syrup on eggy bread sounds good. Treacle tarts aren't black gunge Busman but I can't help wondering if they are made with syrup and if so why they aren't called syrup tarts.  Where did Emma Bunting come from ???

Treacle isn't as sweet as syrup. It probably wouldn't taste as good on a sponge. Personally I just put soap on mine and use them in the bath. |

Re: Syrup versus Treacle
Treacle and syrup are both far too sweet - and messy!
