Tavi used to make these when she was at school and asked me for the recipe as she couldn't find it in any book she had.

  Ingredients:

    125g (4 oz) butter
    65g (2 oz) sugar
    125g (4 oz) golden syrup (part can be replaced with honey)
    250g (8 oz) rolled oats (and/or mixed cereals)
    7ml ( rounded teaspoon) ground ginger

Melt the butter, sugar and syrup together and pour into the oats mixed with ginger. Mix it up well.

Put into 2 small flat tins about 18cm (7inches) in diameter or 16cm (6 inches) square and press down very hard.

Bake for about 30 minutes at Gas Mark 2, 150°C (300°F).

Cut up when cool. Leave in the tins until cold.
