Ingredients
Icing
Method
1.Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a shallow 30cm x 21cm tin with baking paper.
2.Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, ensuring they are well mixed.
3.Gently melt together the butter and golden syrup and tip them onto the dry ingredients. Mix well to combine.
4.Press the mixture evenly into the prepared tin and bake for 20-25 minutes until the slice is golden brown and firm to the touch. Cool on a rack.
5.To make the icing, put the butter and golden syrup into a saucepan and melt together over a gentle heat. Tip in the icing sugar and keep stirring over a low heat until the mixture is smooth and emulsified. You don’t want any melted butter swimming around at the edges.
6.Spread thinly over the cooled slice and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if you wish.
7.Cut into fingers immediately (I cut it into 4 strips across then 8 strips lengthways) and leave to cool entirely before storing in an airtight container.
