Goddess Baking Ingredient 2007
 
Winner Lyles Golden Syrup

Lyle’s Golden Syrup is a must have item for any Kitchen Goddess especially if you are a baking enthusiast. Deliciously thick and silky smooth, people have been coaxing it from its iconic tin to add its Midas touch to porridge and pancakes, puds and cookies, since Victorian times. It’s the perfect ingredient for making cakes and biscuits especially flapjacks with just three ingredients; oats, butter and Lyle’s Golden Syrup – anyone can have a go.
