Method

1. Grease a 20cm cake tin with the vegetable oil.
2. Place the butter, sugar and syrup in a large pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Turn up the heat and bring to a rapid boil, boil without stirring until the mixture turns a golden brown, this will take around 4 – 5 minutes.
4. Add the bicarbonate of soda and stir. Be careful here because the mixture will expand and fizz.
5. Tip the mixture into the prepared tin and leave for a few hours to set.
6. Break into chunks and serve. You could also dip in melted chocolate or crumble up and sprinkle over ice cream.
