Strangely enough, here in Oklahoma, golden syrup is golden syrup. It's an
import.
The golden syrup is a thin syrup with a light gold color. It's cane sugar
based. In the US we tend to use pancake syrup (usually a caramel colored
multi-sugar syrup often with maple flavoring. Real maple syrup is
expensive.) or Karo syrup, which is a brand name for corn (maize) syrup
primarily used in cooking which comes in caramel and clear).
If you can't find golden syrup, corn syrup is an adequate substitute.
Treacle = molasses, but in the US molasses can be made from cane sugar or
sorghum.
