Someone told me today you can sub butter for golden syrup, has anyone heard that, Ive been looking on the net but havent found that.

nup... no... golden syrup has sugar, butter doesn't... golden syrup has no fat content, butter does

you can substitute 1tbsp golden syrup for 1 whole egg in baking provided there is more than 1 egg in the recipe.
Substitute for butter is either oil or marg

Why would you want to substitute butter anyway.Other products other than lard have preservatives etc.Butter isnt as bad for you as the drs would have you believe/.Natural far better for you than man made/

Ive got two bottles of golden syrup and wanted to know what I could bake to use it up considering you only usually use a tablespoon at a time when using itin a recipe.
