Karo syrup is made from corn, and is very thick and viscous, but oddly doesn't have much of a sweet taste. It is a traditional ingredient in Pecan pie, but I much prefer Richard Sax's recipe which calls for golden syrup instead. I love the slightly caramel overtones of golden syrup in pecan pie - adds a more complex note. I grew up in the UK putting golden syrup on porridge, and it is also lovely with some vanilla essence stirred into thick plain yoghurt.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16241117322422647593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-8619951635080156522012-08-19T18:53:25.623+08:002012-08-19T18:53:25.623+08:00Yum.

There is self-raising flour in the US, I'm sure, but I never met golden syrup until I came to the UK. There was a thing called Karo syrup which might be similar, but as I'm not much into sweet stuff I don't know much about it. Your macarons look pretty though! I'm relieved to learn there is something you aren't fantastic at!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-45182833696176200492012-08-19T15:59:04.577+08:002012-08-19T15:59:04.577+08:00They look great!

I made some with a friend once - disaster. I know what you mean about having trouble baking in other countries; if I want to bake things using US recipes I have to use US ingredients, otherwise it just doesn't work. I guess it makes sense; baking seems so precise.niddetissushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675473136978180192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-53389665478204393672012-08-19T14:06:58.085+08:002012-08-19T14:06:58.085+08:00Yum ... one thing I've been meaning to try...Yum ... one thing I've been meaning to try...

I didn't know there was no flour in macaroons so I'll be sharing these with my gluten free eating friends.
