 Preheat an oven to 160\u00b0C for soft flap Jacks, or 170\u00b0C for crispy ones<\/span><\/p>\n

10oz butter
4oz brown sugar
1 tblsp golden syrup
20oz oats<\/p>\n

Melt the butter  in a large saucepan. <\/span><\/span>Add sugar and  golden syrup.<\/p>\n

After all of the fat has melted and sugar dissolved,  stir in the oats to produce a uniform mixture.<\/p>\n

Spread the mixture evenly in a baking tray. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15 – 20 minutes, the longer it is baked, the crispier they will be.<\/p>\n

Flapjack 2<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

300g oats
225g soft light brown sugar
225g butter
100g raisins
a small knob of ginger, cut into tiny bits<\/p>\n

Grease a baking tray (mine’s about 20cm\/9\u201d square). Set the oven to 160C\/325F\/Gas Mark 3. Melt the butter in a saucepan and once melted add the sugar. Warm gently, then remove from the heat and stir in the oats, raisins and ginger. Press into the baking tray (if your hands are wet I think the mixture sticks to you less).<\/p>\n

Bake for up to 20 minutes. Don’t wait for the flapjack to turn brown, as if you leave it too long it’ll end up far too hard. Cut into squares or slices while it’s warm, then leave in the tray to cool.<\/p>\n

These amounts give me 16 chunky squares using my baking tray. You can leave out the raisins and ginger if you like. And you can add 90ml\/6 tbsp of golden syrup when adding the sugar; this gives you flapjack that’s more sticky than crumbly. This recipe’s a combination of one in a modern Mrs Beeton book and one my grandma used to make.<\/p>\n
