NOTES : I've made a number of substitutions to the original recipe to account for the difference in ingredients between the UK and the US. Note

1. The original recipe called for white sugar - I prefer the taste with the Brown. Note

2. The original recipe used 2 ounces of Ovaltine which is very different in the UK - much maltier and less sweet. Note

3. The original recipe used Golden Syrup a thick heavy very sweet liquid. I have seen this at Pier One Imports for anybody who lives in the Bay area, but otherwise honey seems to work well enough.
