Comments

TIP: You can use CSR Golden Syrup Squeeze in this recipe, however the flavour will not be as rich.

Brown Sugar

Ingredients: cane sugar, sugar syrups

This popular sugar is used in many recipes, both savoury and sweet. A concentration of natural syrups gives it a soft natural caramel colour and aroma. Thanks to its delicious smooth caramel taste, it is often used in dessert recipes and sprinkled on porridge. CSR Brown Sugar is also ideal for adding sweetness to savoury dishes such as stir frys and sauces.

Golden Syrup Squeeze

Ingredients: cane sugar, water

CSR Golden Syrup Squeeze is lighter in colour and taste than CSR Original Golden Syrup.

Its subtle caramel taste makes it perfect as a spread or topping. Squeeze it on toast, cereal or bananas for a great tasting breakfast, for lunch on freshly baked bread or in milkshakes and after dinner on desserts - ice cream and waffles.

With its no-mess, non-drip bottle, CSR Golden Syrup Squeeze is ideal for kids to serve themselves. The bottle can also be stored upside down when contents are low, with no mess.

Original Golden Syrup

Ingredients: cane sugar, water

CSR Original Golden Syrup is a liquid gold.

The rich, dark blend of cane syrups combine to produce the traditional and distinctive flavour for which CSR is famous.

The perfect baking ingredient for adding moisture, colour and flavour. Gingernuts, Brandy Snaps and Anzac Biscuits are just a few examples of how golden syrup can be used to produce a deliciously rich, chewy result, making it a favourite with Australian families for generations.

CSR Original Golden Syrup is available in an easy-to-use jar, which features a screw top lid, making it easy to hold and convenient to store.
