Depends on the recipe, it could be omitted all together - depending on what its going in to start with.

It's for Allison Holst budget biscuits. I feel it needs the GS as there is not much else exciting in it.

If you don't have the GS could you make something else instead!

You could use honey. or try brown sugar with a little extra liquid. ( Even make a brown sugar syrup if you could be bothered.)
will alter the taste though.

Maple syrup!
Honey!
Agave syrup if you have it!
No reason any of these wouldn't work.

Treacle ----- a lot stronger, so maybe use less and substitute the rest with brown sugar.Will have a more caramelised effect.

golden syrup is basically caramelised sugar syrup so just use ordinary sugar maybe even burn it a little first.

Or melt some brown sugar which is just ordinary white sugar with treacle added back into it.

I use mulberry jam in my choc cakes rather than golden syrup.Any jam is good though.Cakes are always yummy.

Does the recipe have egg in it! Just wondering because I have heard golden syrup can replace an egg in a recipe. Maybe it could work the other way around too. ie. use an egg and ordinary sugar in place of the GS.
