Easy way to measure golden syrup

When a recipe calls for golden syrup, dip the spoon into boiling water for a few moments before you measure the syrup. The syrup slides off the spoon and you get the full measure in your recipe instead of leaving a lot on the spoon. Also works for honey or treacle.
