There's a peasy recipe here. If you need any conversions, I can do that.The instructions are for a food processor, but you can make it in a bowl with a mixer or by hand pretty much the same way.
That do you?

A replacement for treacle in a gingerbread recipe?We Answered:
Depending on who wrote the recipe, they may mean Molasses (as Molasses is often referred to as Treacle in the UK). Molasses (or for a richer, darker taste blackstrap molasses) is traditional in gingerbread. I've used maple syrup to sub out about half of the molasses in a recipe when I've run out of molasses so that could work. Honey might work too, but I'm not sure how it compares as far as sweetness goes. Molasses is certainly your cheapest solution.Donna Said:

I'm looking for a recipe for a Ginger & Treacle cake?We Answered:
Treacle ginger cakeIngredients
125g butter
2/3 cup soft brown sugar
1/4 cup treacle
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup self-raising flour
1 cup plain flour
1 tbsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 cup milk
Here's how
1. Preheat the oven to moderate (180C). Brush a shallow, 18 x 28cm oblong cake tin with melted butter or oil. Line the base and sides with baking paper.
2. Using electric beaters, beat the butter and sugar in a small bowl until light and creamy. Add the treacle and beat until well combined. Add the eggs gradually, beating thoroughly after each addition.
3. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Using a metal spoon, gently fold in the combined sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk. Stir until just combined and the mixture is almost smooth. Spoon the mixture into the tin and smooth the surface with a spatula.
4. Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre. Set aside for at least 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool. Ice with lemon ginger glacé (recipe follows) and decorate with chopped glacé ginger, or simply dust with icing sugar. Cut the cake into squares to serve.
Lemon ginger glacé
1/3 cup icing sugar, sifted
1/2-1 tsp ground ginger
20g butter
2 tsp milk
1 tsp lemon juice
Combine the icing sugar, ginger, butter and sufficient liquid in a small heatproof bowl to form a firm paste. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until the icing is smooth and glossy.

What is golden syrup in Treacle pudding?We Answered:
Carolsandytoes1, Treacle and Golden Syrup are NOT the same thing. However I know it can be confusing as some recipes and products that contain the word Treacle in their name are actually made with Golden Syprup.Golden Syrup is similar to the US inverted sugar syrup, whilst Treacle is more akin to a rich dark molasses.
The major brand here in the UK (and what Harry Potter would have) is Tate and Lyle. Green tin is Golden Syrup and the red tin is Treacle.
According to the site you can actually source it in the USA

Traditional Scottish Recipes- Treacle Toffee
Treacle is known as molasses is some parts of the world. Treacle toffee used to be a children's treat - which many adults also enjoyed!
Ingredients:
1 pound (500g or Two and a half cups ) castor (super fine) sugar
¼ pound (125g or one stick) butter
1 dessert spoon treacle (molasses)
3 dessert spoons golden syrup (alternatively, light corn syrup)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Large tin condensed milk
5 or 6 dessert spoons water
Method:
Place the butter, sugar, treacle, syrup and water into a pan and heat, stirring constantly. Once all the ingredients are well mixed and melted, add the condensed milk slowly, stirring occasionally until it boils. Continue on a slow boil for 15-20 minutes, again stirring occasionally. Test that the toffee is ready by dropping a spoonful into cold water - if it turns solid, it is ready. Pour into a tray, mark out cut into pieces. Wrap in greaseproof paper (vegetable parchment or waxed paper). Store in an air-tight container.
