1 lb Fine oatmeal

1/2 ts Baking powder

4 ts Ground ginger

1 pn Allspice

1/2 lb Pale muscovado sugar

1/2 lb Butter

2 tb Golden syrup

Line a swiss roll or baking tin measuring about 9 x 13 inches with bakewell or greaseproof

paper and grease it well. Stir the dry ingredients together. Melt the butter and syrup over low

heat, pour on to the dry ingredients and stir well to make a fairly stiff mixture. Spread the

mixture evenly over the base of the prepared tin and bake at 350 F (180 C) gas mark 4 for

25-30 minutes. Do not be alarmed by the fact that the mixture will look a little runny when it

emerges from the oven; this is normal. Mark the biscuits into fingers or squares while still

warm but leave in the tin until completely cold. Don\'t make the biscuits very big ~ they are

chewy and very filling. Good exercise for the jaws and high in calories. Source: Philippa
