How to Make Australian Jack
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in 2 tablespoons of water. Add this mixture to the butter and sugar, stirring well.
- Stir in 1 cup (120g) rolled oats and 1 teaspoon ground ginger. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- The dough should be firm. If too sticky, add a little more rolled oats, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough gently for about 1 minute.
- Grease an 8x12 inch baking dish.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into squares.
