Can I substitute golden syrup for corn syrup?

  |  

Q.  Elinor Asks: I found a recipe for Italian Buttercream that uses 1 Tbsp of golden syrup!  Can I substitute corn syrup, where it’s such a small amount?  Any reason not to?  Any other substitutions you’d suggest?  Thanks so much!  I’m a big fan of yours.

A.  I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t substitute corn syrup for golden syrup. The texture is the same, it’s just a slight flavor difference. Good luck with your dessert and enjoy the holidays.
