cookbook :  Step-by-step Baking




Ingredients :

225  gm  butter plus extra for greasing
225  gm  soft brown sugar
    2  tbsp  golden syrup
350  gm  rolled oats


Method :

1.  Preheat the oven to 150'C.  Lightly grease the base and sides of the baking tin (9 inch square tin).
2.  Put the butter, sugar and syrup in a large saucepan and place over medium-low heat.
3.  Stir constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent scorching (hangus).  Remove from the heat.
4.  Stir in the oats, making sure they are well coated, but do not over-work the mix.
5.  Spoon the oat mixture from the saucepan into the prepared tin.
6.  Press down firmly with the wooden spoon to make a roughly even layer.
7.  To neaten the surface, dip a tablespoon in hot water and use the back to smooth the top.
8.  Bake for 40 minutes or until evenly golden; you may need to turn the tin in the oven.
9.  Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then cut into 16 squares, or 20 rectangles, with a sharp knife.  Serve..
