FLAPJACKS

Recently I was delighted to receive some new baking tins as a birthday gift - just what I needed as mine have seen better days


To test out the smaller of the two tins, I have just made a Flap Jack mix:

Ingredients:

220 g/8 oz Porage Oats +

150g/6 oz Butter

100g/4 oz sugar (Demerara or granulated)

A good rounded tablespoon golden syrup

A  ¼ teaspoon salt

Note: It is one of those recipes where you don’t have to be really accurate.  Sprinkle in a few more oats if it looks much too wet.  Some makes of oats vary. 

It is such a quick and easy recipe.

Melt the butter slowly in a pan, add the golden syrup and sugar and stir till dissolved.  Add the oats and salt to bring out the flavour. Stir the ingredients well.  Place in a square tin, lined with baking parchment, smooth it evenly then pop in the oven for twenty to thirty minutes  at 160C.(Timing depends on the size of your tin). It should look golden and bubbly when cooked. 

Mark out the flapjack whilst still warm

When cooling mark into squares or fingers and leave in the tin to set.  Delicious served with a nice cup of tea!
