Is Karo pancake syrup interchangeable with Karo light or dark corn syrups in recipes?
Karo pancake syrup contains maple syrup flavor but, will perform similarly in recipes and may be substituted in baked goods. Taste/Flavor preference is the best usage guide. Light corn syrup is used when a delicately sweet flavor and color is desired, such as in fruit sauces, jams and baked goods. Karo dark corn syrup, with its rich brown color and more robust flavor color, is ideal for many baked goods. Karo pancake syrup offers a golden brown color with a delicious maple flavor, making it a delicious topping for pancakes, waffles, French toast, and biscuits. It imparts an appetizing color when brushed onto ham during the last half-hour of roasting or ribs on the grill; and gives appetizing flavor and color when spooned or poured over baked acorn squash and sweet potatoes.
