## Ingredients

- 260 g Self-raising flour
- 2 tsp Ground Ginger
- 2 balls Stem ginger, finely chopped
- 0.5 Tsp Cinnamon
- 4 g Flaked Salt
- 250 g Fine oatmeal
- 120 g Light brown muscovado sugar
- 155 g Salted Butter
- 110 g Golden Syrup
- 200 g Black Treacle
- 150 ml Buttermilk
- 2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 large egg

## Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 170°C Fan. Line a 9 by 9 inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Add the treacle, muscovado sugar, butter and golden syrup into a pot and stir on a low heat until completely melted.
3. Add the self-raising flour, ground ginger, optional stem ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, flaked salt, and fine oatmeal into a large mixing bowl and whisk to incorporate.
4. Pour the melted syrup mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk along with the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
5. Add the egg and whisk again until well combined.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
7. Pop into the oven and bake for 50 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted comes out clean.
8. Leave to cool in the tin, and cut into 12 squares.
9. Wrap the squares in tin foil. Keep for up to five days before eating if you can – it’ll become softer and stickier the longer you leave it.
