What's the % of fat listed on the cartons at the store?

Corn syrup should be in any grocery or baking store. I've also seen it labeled as golden syrup.

Corn syrup is labeled as golden syrup where you are? It shouldn't be, since golden syrup isn't made from corn, it's a byproduct of sugar refining.

well in the US we have whipping cream and heavy whipping cream. i would assume that double cream is the same as heavy.

Hi atypia. I'm in Aus too.

Thickened cream is usually single cream with added gelatin, flavouring and thickening agents to make the consistency similar to double cream.

Single cream and whipping cream is usually under 30% milkfat.

Double cream and heavy cream should be 40-45% milkfat for the best result.
