Pecan pie.
It was mentioned in some threads on pecan pie, both the southern version, and the English Lyles Golden syrup.

The other day I searched for ways to use my Steens. I found a steamed treacle cake on Epicurious. It is way better than it sounds.
No unusual ingredients. You pour a quarter cup of syrup in a 1 qt. heatsafe bowl. Then you cover it with a very simple butter cake. Cover it with wax paper and foil. Place into a steamer insert with simmering water 3/4s up the bowl. Steam an hour and a half.
It was buttery, simple, and delicious.

We're having some for breakfast this morning. On buttered biscuits with sausage patties.

If you know any gym fats or workout buffs, cane syrup is a great sweetener for homemade energy bars.

If it's Steen's, try the gingerbread recipe printed on the back of the bottle (or can)--a wonderful, cakey, light gingerbread. Living in the "sugar bowl" of Louisiana, I use cane syrup in so many things: in salad dressings, BBQ sauces & grilling glazes for pork & poultry, to caramelize nuts, in pecan pie, to glaze sweet potatoes...in short, any recipe calling for a sweetener that can benefit from an added slightly bitter note (kinda like honey).
Of course, I use it as a syrup too...to top biscuits, waffles, pancakes, corn bread, coush-coush (fried cornmeal mush), and drizzled over creole cream cheese ice cream...
