Ingredients

Base

1 cup flour

1/2 cup self-raising flour

1/2 cup desiccated coconut

1 1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats

1 egg, lightly beaten

150 gram butter, melted

Filling

100 gram butter, melted

395 gram can sweetened condensed milk

2 tablespoon golden syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Line a 30cm x 20cm slice pan with baking paper.

2.To make the base, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the egg and butter and mix together to combine well. Press three-quarters of the mixture into the lined slice pan.

3.Combine the ingredients for the filling in a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the mixture is thick. Pour the mixture evenly over the base and sprinkle with the remaining base mixture as a topping.

4.Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the slice is golden brown. It may still be a bit wobbly in the middle but it will set as it cools.
