Glad you tried them and the fussy cookie person approved. Golden syrup is a refined syrup (nothing like as strong tasting as treacle or molasses) often made from sugar beet in this country. Because of that you can really taste the ginger.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-58600205007413582042021-02-25T14:51:17.603-08:002021-02-25T14:51:17.603-08:00I had some trouble in converting to US measurement...I had some trouble in converting to US measurements, spent some time online trying to get my head around dry ounces and such. I finally found a recipe in American measures that best I could tell was a double batch of yours. <br />The results seem to be pleasing the fussy cookie person!<br />We don't have the exact equivalent of golden syrup--again researching, I decided it is NOT Karo corn syrup--an alternative seemed to be 'treacle' which I think is like our molasses. I keep Grandma's Unsulphured Molasses on hand and that's what I used.
