    I used granulated 'cos I have heaps of that (and very little caster) in the house :)

    I've actually used demerara as well - that gives a lovely crunch to them, as it doesn't seem to 'dissolve' quite the same during baking :D

    If you haven't got caster sugar, whizz granulated sugar for a few seconds in a food processor, liquidizer etc. I never buy caster sugar nowadays

    But that means more washing up :o

    :rotfl:

    Nah! Works OK with granulated, so will stick with that :)

    Still say they're even better with demerara though ;)

    I've used golden syrup, honey and maple syrup - the maple syrup ones are the best IMHO :p. Have bought a big bottle of "Waffle & Pancake Syrup" to try next :D.
