Ingredients

225g self-raising flour
225g medium oatmeal
225g butter
225g demerara sugar
454g tin of golden syrup (warmed)
2 eggs (beaten)
2 tsp ground ginger
Pinch of salt
1-2 tbsp treacle to darken (as required)
Crystallised chopped ginger (optional)

Handy Hint

Sultanas also can be added. I warm syrup in a tin in the oven-don't forget gloves! Syrup in plastic jars can arc in the microwave if there is gilt on the label

Method

1. Melt butter, sugar and syrup in a pan. Add all the dry ingredients
2. Add eggs. Mix and put in tin. (I use a large square tin) Bake for an hour at 140C (fan)/Gas mark 2
3. Leave in tin to cool.
4. Store with bread slices on top to make it sticky (supposedly for up to a week. Always eaten before then!)

This recipe was given to M&S for a charity cook book in 1994 by Grahame Morris at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle and I have never come across a better recipe for Bonfire Night
