Syrup emoji: 🍯 as the closest match
There is no dedicated syrup emoji, so the honey pot often stands in for syrup. It is the only jar of sweet liquid in the emoji set, and it can represent golden syrup, maple syrup, or any sticky topping.
On pancake posts, 🍯 pairs naturally with 🥞 to show the whole plate. The honey pot is more specific than syrup, but the visual reads clearly enough in most feeds.
