225 g granulated sugar

50 g plain flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

Oblong baking tin approx. 18 x 28 cm, greased and lined with greaseproof paper

Preheat oven to gas mark 4 (180 deg C)

2. Move from heat and stir in all other ingredients

3. Mix thoroughly then spread mixture into lined baking tin
