Method

3 clear steps

1
Heat oven to 150°C and lightly grease the tin. Warm sugar, the measured butter and golden syrup in a saucepan until butter melts, stirring without boiling hard.
2
Remove from heat and stir in rolled oats until evenly coated. Press into the tin in an even layer.
3
Bake about 40 minutes. Cool in the tin for 10–15 minutes before scoring ten bars, then leave until fully cold before removing so they hold together.
