1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup plain flour
1 tbsp golden syrup (treacle)
1 teaspoon bi-carb soda
2 tbsp boiling water
1/2 cup melted butter
Preheat oven to 160c (325f). Mix oats, sugar and flour. Mix golden syrup, bicarb soda and boiling water. While this is frothing, add melted butter and pour into dry ingredients, mix thoroughly. Drop, by spoonfuls onto an floured oven tray (cookie sheet), (leave enough room for mixture to spread). Bake for 18-20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
