Steen's molasses used to be a good sustitute for black treacle but they wimped it down a while ago. Brer Rabbit unsulphured molasses is about all I can find here in Colorado. But of course treacle pudding is misnamed because it is made with golden syrup. Yes, you can use corn syrup instead. Try adding just a teaspoon of molasses to it to give it some flavor. You will pay a high price for Bird's custard in the States, if you can find it. It can be home made though. it is just a cornstarch sauce. Milk, cornstarch, sugar, yellow food coloring and vanilla.
