ENGLISH FLAPJACK

This is my recipe for Flapjack, inherited from my English mother. It doesn't have golden syrup in it, but you could try using 3 oz of Lyles with 3 oz brown sugar and seeing how it turns out. I'm sure it would work quite well.

EASY FLAPJACK RECIPE



Easy Flapjack Recipe image

Soft and chewy flapjacks that won't fall apart. An easy Flapjack recipe of melted butter, sugar, syrup, porridge oats and a little flour.

Provided by Lynn Hill

Categories     Snack

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

170 grams butter
115 grams soft brown sugar or demerara sugar
55 grams golden syrup
225 grams Porridge Oats (not jumbo oats)
50 grams plain flour
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180c conventional oven
  • Grease and line the base and sides of an 8 inch square loose bottomed baking tin with baking parchment. The baking parchment is essential as it makes it easier to lift the flapjacks out of the tin once they have cooled.
  • If you don't have an 8 inch square tin, use one of a similar volume in size eg 8 x 8 = 64 square inches. I was never good at maths, so I hope you get the idea.
  • Melt the butter, sugar, and syrup in a large pan over a very gentle heat until all the sugar and butter have melted. DO NOT BOIL THE MIXTURE. This is most likely the reason why some flapjacks turn out hard and difficult to eat.
  • Add the flour, salt, and oats. Mix thoroughly until everything is covered in the syrup mixture. It helps to give the dry ingredients a little mix before adding to the syrup.
  • Spread the mixture evenly and firmly into the prepared tin. The mixture is a little runny, but you will still need to press the mixture down firmly as this will help prevent the flapjacks from falling apart after baking.
  • Bake in the centre of the oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until baked and golden brown in colour.
  • Remove from the oven. Leave to cool a little before partially slicing the top into bars. DO NOT CUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. You need the flapjacks to set and cool completely before doing that.
  • The mixture will still be hot and very sticky, so take care, especially when baking with children.
  • Now that the flapjacks have cooled completely, you can complete to process of slicing them into bars. They will feel soft and chewy. And should not fall apart.
  • Keep in an airtight container with a sheet of baking parchment wrapped around them, to help keep them moist and chewy.

Tips:
