Easy to make flapjack

This is an easy Flapjack recipe that will give you at least 12 bars of flapjack in no time at all. I usually double up the amount of ingredients and use a larger baking tray. It is up to you. It does store quite well in a cake or biscuit tin, that is if it is not consumed as soon as you have finished cooking. It certainly wafts pleasant aromas around the kitchen, that is you like sweet food.

Ingredients
For a 71/2 inch shallow baking tray you will need:
4ounces of butter or margarine. You can use a mixture of both
4 level tablespoons of Golden Syrup or as we often call it in the UK treacle. The pale coloured kind.

3ounces of sugar, granulated or brown sugar works well.
8ounces of rolled oats. I buy the large unbranded packs which are cheaper and less processed on the whole.
1/4level teaspoon of salt, adjust as suits.

The ingredients can be prepared easily in ten to 15 minutes and the cooking time is around 30 minutes. I use a fan assisted oven which is an absolute pain. It can mean baking burns around the edges unless I keep a close eye on it. For me the cooking time is half. You will know best what your oven is capable of.

The text book cooking time is 30 minutes with an oven setting of 335 degrees F or Gas Mark 3

Method
  • Place the fat, ie butter or margarine or both, and syrup in a pan and set over a low heat to melt.​
  • Use a large pan and you can add the other ingredients to the melted fat and syrup.
  • If you use a small pan place the other ingredients in a large bowl and combine that way.
  • Whilst the above is melting grease your baking tray or tin.
  • Once the fat has melted combine the liquid with the oats, salt and sugar.
  • Mix well so that all the oats are covered with the sweet liquid.
  • Turn the mixture into a baking tin and gently press down.
  • Cook in your oven until the flapjack is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and whilst the flapjack is still hot cut it into bars or squares.
  • If you do not do this until the mixture is cold it will break and be too crisp to cut properly.
  • Leave to cool for around 5 minutes and then gently lift and snap apart the bars.
  • Cool the flapjack slices on a wire.
You can add chocolate chips, raisins, currants or any number of things to the oats to add variety. Cover with melted cooking chocolate for an extra special treat.

This recipe is great for children as it is fairly easy, but not without adult supervision. Of course it is great for children too as they love to eat it in record time.
