SC - Curry

[Jeffrey Miller]

Greetings,

I am new to this list, and hail from the Barony of Gyldenholt in Caid.  While 
certainly not new to cooking, I find I have much to learn about cooking in 
the SCA.  I have been looking for a recipe for something I was given at a 
recent event, and was called an oatcake.  Most of the recipes I find for 
oatcakes have been savory, but this was somewhat sweet and contained black 
walnuts.  I have a modern recipe for something called *flapjacks*, which I 
believe would produce something similar in taste and texture to what I was 
given to sample, but it contains something called *golden syrup*.  I thought 
this might be honey, as the recipe suggests putting the jar in hot water 
before attempting to measure, but there is also brown sugar in the recipe:

4 oz. butter
4 oz. soft brown sugar
3 oz. golden syrup
8 oz. medium or coarse oatmeal (porridge oats are suitable)
2 heaped teaspoons ground ginger

Can anyone help?
