Golden syrup can sometimes be found in Asian or Indian groceries. If the store carries Milo (a chocolate drink powder) it will usually carry golden syrup or can order it for you.

Hi vickilynn,
Golden syrup according to wikipedia is: “Golden syrup is a pale treacle.[1] It is a thick, amber-colored form of inverted sugar syrup, made in the process of refining sugar cane juice into sugar, or by treatment of a sugar solution with acid. It is used in a variety of baking recipes and desserts. It has an appearance similar to honey, and is often used as a substitute for people who do not eat honey. It can also be used as a substitute for corn syrup.”

I ordered a can from Amazon.com for use in the cookies. From all of the NZ recipes for ANZAC biscuits that I read, there really is no good substitute for golden syrup in the recipe. People have used other forms of syrup, but they just aren’t considered true ANZAC biscuits then.

I like the idea. It is good to see some recipes from other parts of the world. Thanks.
