Anyone have an idea where I went wrong???
I'm intrigued by this recipe! I'm not so good with the metric, but I'm guessing that you really went astray with the oats. On the Quaker box, 1/2 cup is estimated as weighing about 40 grams. So if the recipe calls for 250 grams, that's a little better than 3 cups. I think 250 ml equals about 1 cup, at least it looks that way on my little pyrex measuring cup.

I even have some golden syrup from a friend in Australia who assures me I'll love it!

Gee two posts in a row mentioning Quaker Oats.......this is not a paid endorsement LOL
