    Until what goes bad? The eggs?

    The answer to all of your baking questions is "Twinks HobNobs"

    Yes sorry I meant the eggs, would it matter if I have no butter?

    and you can freeze eggs if that helps, just scamble them and pop them in ice cube trays/ food bags

    The Twinks recipe is top-notch but of course it won't solve your eggs-needing-to-be-used-up issue. Do you need help with that?

    n.b. If you have no Golden Syrup to hand you can substitute it with honey.
