Hi Claire
Are the tablespoons the golden syrup is measured in Imperial (15ml, 3 tsp) or Metric (20ml, 4tsp)?

Will assume that as the recipe is from an american book and so is 15ml. Hope it turns out all right!

Couldn’t agree with you more on the christams thing, and it seems like theres no way of slowing it down unless you want to be labeled a scrooge! Maybe the key is smaller and defintley less gifts that are actually meaningful and not just stuff…
I was just about to search for a ginger bread recipe! I’m making them ‘Gluten free’ and possibly leave out the currents…

hey claire, thanks for sharing this, i’ve just made a shopping list and down here in uruguay, things are measured in grams and baking soda is called bicarbonate of soda..for once i don’t have to convert everything to how i’m used to measuring!

accidentally, we will be having a simple christmas this year, since we are living with just the things that we brought with us and a few gifts, small tree…i don’t feel like we’re missing a thing.

Oooooh if this is the recipe for the Moomin cookies you gave me, I may have to make more, I think I at the whole lot in under two days! Paul didnt even get a look in, they are totally adictive, very good with a cup of Chai tea also.
