bake the flapjack in the oven at about 180c for around 30 minutes, or until the flapjack has browned.
note: if you are using raisons in your recipe, you might like to cook the flapjack for a shorter time, or for a longer time at a lower temperature, because raisins can burn and expand with the heat.
once you take the flapjack out, you should cut it before it cools completely because it will harden.
if youre impatient, eat some warm (if you havent already!) but flapjack is just as delicious chilled.
***** if youre a chocaholic, i would recommend that when the flapjack has cooled completely, you melt a black of chocolate and pour it over, and wait for it to set. *****.
