[ ] 100 g dark brown soft sugar
[ ] 100 g golden syrup
[ ] 50 g black treacle
[ ] 100 g self-raising flour
[ ] 150 g medium oatmeal (or porridge oats, blitzed for 10 seconds)
[ ] ground ginger (you need 2 tsp)
[ ] ground cinnamon (you need 1 tsp)
[ ] 1 egg, beaten

Cupboard check: ground ginger, ground cinnamon are probably already at home.
Treacle and golden syrup: weigh them straight into the warm pan, or oil the spoon first so that they slide off.
Oatmeal: medium oatmeal is traditional. Porridge oats blitzed briefly in a blender work well.
