1 lb 2 oz (550g or 3 cups scant) rolled oatsMethod:
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4. Melt the butter and add the soft brown sugar and golden syrup. Keep on a low heat until the sugar dissolves - do not boil.Remove from the heat and add the oats. Place on a baking tray 12 x 8 inches, and roll the mixture to 1 inch thick.
