SC - molasses

[Decker, Terry D.]

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.
