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.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160Cfan/ gas 4. Grease and line a shallow 20cm square tin with baking parchment.
  • Put the butter, sugar and Golden Syrup into a medium pan and gently heat until melted. Stir in the oats. Turn into the tin, level and press the mixture evenly and firmly with the back of a spoon. Bake for 25 minutes, or until just golden around the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes then mark into 12 or 16 pieces whilst still warm. Cool completely before turning out onto a board and cutting again with a sharp knife.

Tips:

  • Use good quality oats: Choose rolled oats or jumbo oats for a chewier texture. Avoid using instant oats, as they will make the flapjacks too soft.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the flapjacks tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a large baking sheet: This will help the flapjacks to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Leave some space between the flapjacks so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the flapjacks until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the flapjacks cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
