Pro bakers swear by it for gooey pies and soft cookies.
Even so, corn syrup gets a lot of hate. But like many pastry pros before me, I am a fierce corn syrup advocate. In most recipes, swapping corn syrup for popular substitutes—like maple syrup, honey, agave, or any other sweetener—simply won’t produce the same results. Here’s all you need to know about this unjustly maligned pantry staple.. It’s made by combining cornstarch with water, then introducing enzymes that convert the starches to sugars, like glucose.
That’s what differentiates the corn syrup you’d use at home from high-fructose corn syrup, a sweetener used in mass-produced snack foods and soft drinks. To make high-fructose corn syrup, producers further refine corn syrup to convert some of the glucose molecules to fructose, resulting in a sweeter syrup. Though it’s derived from the same source as standard corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup is almost exclusively used commercially.
But back to the regular corn syrup called for in recipes: Once it’s been refined, flavors are added—vanilla to make light corn syrup, or molasses to make dark corn syrup—and it’s shipped off to the grocery store. Light corn syrup is transparent in color and milder in flavor, whereas dark corn syrup has a rich caramel color and deeper flavor from the added molasses. You can find both in the baking aisle of the supermarket—Corn syrup keeps sugar from crystallizing, a.k.a.
