We made these this afternoon, in between telling fairy tales and playing with the play-doh. Your fairy tales were definitely better than mine.
This is adapted from another Dan Lepard recipe in the Guardian...
You'll need:
100g raisins
100g butter
60g dark brown sugar
75g orange and rhubarb marmalade (you could use any type, but this is what was lurking in the cupboard, courtesy of Leverington WI)
zest of an orange
1 tablespoon black treacle
200g rolled oats
Stick the raisins in a bowl, and cover with boiling water. Leave to stew for 10-15 minutes while you get on with the rest.
Turn the oven on to about 170 degrees C. Chuck the butter in a saucepan, together with the marmalade, sugar, black treacle and orange zest. Melt over a low heat.
Drain the raisins, and add to the saucepan. Ditto the oats. It'll look a right mess, but will smell lovely. Decant the mess into a square baking tin - which you've lined with greaseproof paper (otherwise it'll stick like anything).
Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, until it's coloured slightly. Leave to cool on a wire rack (but cut into squares while it's still a little bit warm, or it'll set rock hard).
