Rustic Durham Oat Flapjacks

Melt butter, sugar, and a generous amount of golden syrup in a heavy pan.

Once melted, stir in rolled oats until thoroughly coated.

Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.

Press the mixture firmly into a greased baking tin (about 2cm thick).

Bake at 180°C for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden but the middle is still slightly soft.

Mark out squares while still warm, but leave to cool completely in the tin before removing.
