Recipe Created By: Jddreyfus
Ingredients
2 tsp Lyle’s Golden Syrup®
1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract
assorted food coloring (optional)
2 tsp rice milk
1 cup confectioners (powdered) sugar
Directions
In a small bowl, stir together confectioner’s sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in Lyle’s golden syrup and vanilla until icing is smooth and glossy. If icing is too thick, add more golden syrup.
Divide into separate bowls and add food colorings as desired. Dip cookies or paint them with a pastry brush.
This recipe dries smooth and shiny and works great for cookies. It wouldn’t work for making flowers or anything like that though.
You might have to add a little extra rice milk and syrup to get it to the right consistency for cookies.
Notes
Substitutions
Corn syrup can be used for golden syrup.
Corn Substitutions: Corn is a common ingredient in products. Starch, modified food starch, dextrin and maltodextrin can be from corn. Consult with your physician to find out which corn derivatives you need to avoid. Many corn-free options are available in the US. Find out more about corn substitutions.
Milk and Soy Substitutions: Alternative dairy-free milk beverages and products will work in most recipes. Find out more about milk substitutions and soy substitutions.
