Line 2 loaf tins with baking paper. Pre-heat oven to 180C. Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl. Heat butter, sugar and syrup in a deep saucepan until melted. Set aside to cool. Add milk and beaten egg to butter mix and beat. Make a well in the centre of dry ingredients and pour in liquid mixture. Stir to make smooth batter.
