110 g (½ cup or 4 oz) light brown sugar
175 g (1½ cups or 6 oz) butter
1 dessert spoon golden syrup
175 g (1½ cups or 6 oz) rolled oats

Place the sugar, butter, and golden syrup together in a medium saucepan and heat until the butter has melted.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the oats.
Press the mixture out over the base of a lightly-greased 7½-inch (19 cm) square baking tin.
Bake in the centre of the oven for 40 minutes.
When baked, allow to cool in the tin for 10–15 minutes before cutting into oblong bars.
Leave until cold before removing the flapjacks from the tin, then store in an airtight container.
