Can golden syrup substitute egg when cooking biscuits?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They won't turn out quite the same (more hard, less sweet, not very chewy etc...) if you miss it out. You could try using honey instead, but it will taste of honey as a result. Plus the dough may not bind together without the syrup. It would probably be better to wait until you have the golden syrup to make the biscuits.

Which food group does biscuits belong to?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Plain biscuits would be considered a starch and placed in the Grains food group while cheese is obviously a milk product and would be placed in the Dairy food group. Combination foods, such as sandwiches or soups, do not technically belong to one singular food group since they can be composed of ingredients from a variety of food groups. Although, since cheese is not the primary ingredient in cheese biscuits many would place it in the Grain food group.

How much is one can of biscuits if four cans equal 1.88?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends how many biscuits are in the can. Say there are 5 biscuits in a can, you would take $1.88 and divide it by 4 to get the cost of each can. Once you get this cost, $0.47, you would divide this number yet again by the number of biscuits in the can to get the individual cost of each biscuit, $0.09.

No, these are for sugar-gliders and not nutritiously appropriate for ferrets. Ferrets are carnivores (meat eaters) and are unable to digest fruits and vegetable (can lead to blockage in the stomach).

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Its very easy and versitile! Basically we use a leftover gravy from a previous dinner of either shredded beef over noodles, or hamburget gravy with mashed potatoes. That is the bottom layer in a deep large baking dish, then add a layer of any veggie, frozen or canned (drained), then add a layer of your favorite cheese. Some people like onions added to their original gravy base as well, feel free to mix and match and make this recipe yours! Last is a deep layer of well seasoned real mashed potatoes. Buttery, with maybe added garlic salt, black pepper,
