I was shown how to make flapjacks by a friend (sher showed me approximate amounts) and after the first successful bake, I now make a batch a week. Its a bit of a shame that the kids dont like it as (and this is probaly why
) its got lots of dried fruit and seeds in it and so is quite healthy. The trouble is when I go to cut it, it just falls apart into crumbles
which are tasty nonetheless but its not very practical when taking on picnics and the like.
I dont like shop bought flapjacks as I find them too claggy in the mouth
(if you know what I mean) but I much prefer to make my own anyway as you then know what sins have gone in! Any suggestions please?
2 tablespoons golden syrup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter/marg
this is all melted into a pan until liquid and sugar has melted, then
2 tablespoons seeds
2 tablespoons sultanas or similar
the I add oats until just to the point where the oats start to stay white rather than absorb any moisture.
bake at around 180 for 20/25 mins
leave to cool in tin for 10 mins
remove from tin and cut into portions, leave till cool then store till required.
