Golden Syrup

Double Cream

Corn Flour

Tapioca Maltodextrin

 

[richard-in-cincy]

My two cents worth

Golden Syrup--light treacle, a syrup from sugar cane or beets. Sub light corn syrup with a tsp. of molasses

Double Cream--there is no sub and you cannot buy this in the states, unless you have a cow or a share in a cow. It is the thick, unpasteurized, cream that floats to the top of the milk. Whipping cream is like skim milk compared to double cream and is an American shame.

Corn Flour--Corn Starch

Tapioca Maltodextrin--tapioca starch. Very similar to tapioca flour which can be subbed if you can't find the starch. You would just need to use a little more. Indian groceries usually carry the Tapioca Malto

Oli, do you use Google for research? It is so much fun to do and you get a plethora of information

such as this: I Googled Golden Syrup and got this:

Here is a link for Double Cream with all sorts of fun facts.

And this one for Corn Flour...

What I like about using Google for finding out about ingredients is that you get information on substitutions, nutritional information, recipes and so much more.

From the link I added above for the Double Cream. When I clicked on Double Cream

there was a link to Igourmet. I did not see it this time, but if you go to Igourmet and put in Double Cream. Open the link for the Devon Double Cream and go to the reviews. I added the link for the reviews

I am going to have to try TJs and see if they have the Double Cream. I wonder if some TJs carry

products other TJs don't?

 

[mistral]

Thank you! (nt)

Thank you for this, Richard. Didn't know about the corn syrup/molasses sub for golden syrup. Good

to know.

 

[pat-nocal]

And Oli, thank you for asking the question here!

 

[marilynfl]

Agree with this. I trust this site far more than just goggling an answer.

Whole Foods and our health food store carries this. It ran about $7.
