SYRUP BISCUITS FROM IRELAND 
1/2 lb. butter
1 c. plain flour
1 c. sugar
2 c. quick cook oats, uncooked
1 tsp. baking soda
1 good pinch cream of tartar
1 good tbsp. Lyles Golden Syrup

Slowly melt butter and syrup in a saucepan. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Last of all soda and cream of tartar. Pour the butter/syrup mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix well. Place small lumps (1 good teaspoon) on a gresed baking tray, widely spaced for they spread a lot. Bake at 250 to 300 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes. Slip off baking trays with spatula and leave to cool on piece of cardboard or paper. Store in air-tight tin. Two things make the difference; cream of tartar and Tate & Lyles Golden Syrup.
