350g Self raising flour
115g Black treacle
115g Golden syrup
115g Brown sugar
2 Small eggs
½ Teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
115g margarine

2. Sift the dry ingredients in a bowl, make a well in the centre and add eggs & milk.

3. Slowly pour in treacle mixture, stir without beating, until well blended. The treacle mixture must be properly cool or else it will cook the egg.
