Melt half a block of butter with 2 heaped tablespoons of golden syrup.Chuck in some oats – enough to make it sort of a sticky consistency. Probably around 8oz, if you're counting.
Add whatever else you fancy, muesli, dates, perhaps the odd nut.
A handful of demerara sugar - for the crunch.
Splurge and spread onto a well greased baking tin.
OK, I'll be honest, I thought I could improve my mother's age-old, time-tested recipe. I added a bit of Alpen, some cinnamon and allspice and I sprinkled some oats on top before it went in the oven. Sue me. Just don't tell my ma.
Cook in the middle of moderate oven, around 150/Gas mark 3, for half an hour or so.
Leave in the tin to cool.
