Fabulous Flapjacks

We hope you're enjoying the sunny long weekend. Here are some photos to remind everyone of fun con spirito times!

It's been too hot for serious baking so it's a good moment to share our flapjack recipe - it's quick and easy and very delicious!

Flapjacks

(Makes about 25)

Ingredients

4 oz butter

3 tbsp golden syrup

6 oz dark brown sugar

8 oz oats

4 oz chopped walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts

1/4 tsp salt

method

Pre-heat the oven to 175 degrees and line a square brownie tin with greaseproof paper.

In a saucepan, melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup together on a low heat (a couple of minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the other ingredients, mixing thoroughly. Pour/scrape into the prepared tin and smooth the top.

Bake for about 20 minutes until it's just starting to turn golden brown. If you prefer a crunchier - rather than chewier - flapjack, leave in for up to 25 minutes.

Put the tin on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before taking out of the tin and placing on a chopping board. Cut into squares while still warm or it'll be hard work later! Store in an airtight container.
