Ingredients

200g butter

100g dark brown sugar

50g treacle

200g golden syrup

200g self-raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

100g oatmeal

1 tbsp ground ginger

2 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp mixed spice

2 eggs, beaten

2 tbsp milk

Method

1
Lightly grease three 10cm x 20cm foil trays and line with baking paper.
2
Melt the butter, sugar, treacle and syrup over a low heat until just combined.
3
Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, then stir in the oatmeal, ginger, nutmeg and mixed spice.
4
Gradually beat in the eggs and milk. Pour over the melted mixture and mix until just combined. Transfer into the lined trays.
5
Put the trays on top of empty upturned foil trays on the barbecue, to diffuse the heat. Cook over a medium heat, with the barbecue lid closed, for 25-30 minutes. Or bake in an oven pre-heated to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
