from an English cookbook with British measurements, so get out your kitchen scale!
A famous recipe from Wordsworth's home village in the Lake District.
9 oz whole wheat flour
3 oz oats
3/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1-1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
3 teaspoons ground ginger
9 oz hard butter
9 oz soft brown sugar
Set oven to 325F. Well grease and base line an approx. 14 x 9 inches shallow tin. Put the flour, oats, bicarbonate of soda, cream of tartar and ground ginger into a bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and rub in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar. Put into the tin, spread out and press down firmly with the back of a floured fork. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until pale brown (do not overcook). Cut into squares while warm and leave the tin until completely cold. Keeps well in an airtight tin.
