Difference Between Golden Syrup and Maple Syrup
They're both syrups but they taste very different. Golden syrup has a buttery caramel flavor, whereas maple syrup is…. well, maple flavored. Maple syrup may also be a bit runnier.
Can you replace maple syrup with golden syrup?You can, although you'll be adding that maple taste. If you do, use grade A, which is the lightest. You could also substitute honey, which is a bit thicker, or corn syrup, which is probably the best substitution.
