This was so easy to make and very delicoius, My son and niece loved decorating them. Can be cooked thinner for cruchy or slightly thicker for melt in the mouth. Will be making again thanks for this great recipie - 09 Jan 2011
these are gorgeous! My scales are broken so I was just throwing the ingredients in and it's so easy to follow they can't go wrong- mine still turned out perfect! I used dark sugar and slightly less syrup (had to compromise with what was in the cupboard) and some vegan egg substitute (not vegan or veggie but it's always there if I get the urge to bake) You can really smell the golden syrup when they're cooking, so comforting. I will definitely make these again! - 22 Jul 2011
