Why golden syrup is the golden ticket to perfect biscuits
You might wonder why we insist on adding Lyle’s Golden Syrup to your biscuits. The syrup’s golden hue is a promise of the deLUSHious taste that awaits. It adds a unique, slightly caramelised sweetness that sugar alone just can’t deliver. Plus, it keeps your biscuits wonderfully moist and chewy. Trust us on this, once you’ve tried it, there’s no going back!
Tips for baking gold-star worthy biscuits
Baking the perfect golden syrup biscuits involves a few simple but crucial steps. Here are some fresh tips to ensure your biscuits turn out just right every time:
Make sure your butter is soft but not melted. It should be at room temperature so it creams well with the sugar.
Line your baking trays with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking. Alternatively, you can swap parchment paper for silicone baking mats. They provide even heat distribution and prevent your biscuits from sticking.
Use a kitchen scale for precision. Baking is a science, and the right ratios make all the difference.
When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix until everything comes together. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.
Use cutters for your biscuits to ensure they’re all the same size. This helps them bake evenly and look more professional.
Halfway through baking, rotate your baking trays. This helps achieve an even golden-brown colour, especially if your oven has hot spots.
Roll your dough to an even thickness. If some biscuits are thicker than others, they won’t bake evenly.
