Notes
Golden Syrup is easy to find in supermarkets in the UK and Australia, but more tricky to find in North America. You can buy golden syrup from Amazon, or alternatively you can substitute it with honey, corn syrup or maple syrup.
Note however that golden syrup is much stickier than maple syrup but doesn't have the strong flavor of honey, so you could try mixing up both maple syrup and honey.
