  Keep in mind that this is a Canadian recipe book, so some of the items need to be substituted- for example:

  • all purpose flour = plain flour
  • cake flour (lighter flour than plain) = remove three tablespoons of plain flour per cup of flour and replace it with cornflour or potato flour
  • sweetened condensed milk - looks like evaporated milk but is much sweeter, don't think you can get it here, but a substitute is to mix 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of dry (powdered) milk and 1/2 cup warm water. When mixed, add 3/4 cup of granulated (ordinary) sugar.
  • cornstarch = corn flour
  • baking soda - bicarbinate of soda
  • Crisco shortning = copha
  • vanilla extract = vanilla essence
  • 2% milk = lite milk
  • corn syrup = Golden Syrup
  • Graham Crackers - not an exact substitute, but they are roughly similar to digestive biscuits

    That's a very detailed example. Thanks for the info.

  just a couple of comments - hope they help :)

  you can get sweetened condensed milk in Australia, from any supermarket - its even a homebrand

  corn syrup does not = golden syrup at least imho.

  Glucose syrup would be closer but in this case you can buy the "real thing" from most health foods stores (possibly the supermarket)- look for the Karo brand
