Ingredients

1 pound oatmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4 teaspoons ginger ground
1 pinch allspice
1/2 pound sugar pale
1/2 pound butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup

Directions

1

Line a swiss roll or baking tin measuring about 9 x 13 inches with bakewell or greaseproof paper and grease it well.
2

Stir the dry ingredients together.
3

Melt the butter and syrup over low heat, pour on to the dry ingredients and stir well to make a fairly stiff mixture.
4

Spread the mixture evenly over the base of the prepared tin and bake at 350F (180C) (180 C) gas mark 4 for 25 to 30 minutes.
5

Do not be alarmed by the fact that the mixture will look a little runny when it emerges from the oven; this is normal.
6

Mark the biscuits into fingers or squares while still warm but leave in the tin until completely cold.
7

Don't make the biscuits very big ~ they are chewy and very filling.
