Well, I made the condensed milk flapjacks any OMG they're fantastic So fantastic that I feel sick but that's to do with quantity not quality...
I used this recipe but halved all the ingredients except the condensed milk. I had to sprinkle extra oats in the mixture as it was too gooey so you'll need more than the list says.
Porridge Oats (just the plain cheap type, not large ones), 500g
Butter, 300g
Golden Syrup (in a green and gold tin), 4 serving spoons
Unsweetended condensed milk, half a tin
Demerera sugar, 340g
You'll also need an oven, a saucepan, some baking parchment and a large
baking tin or a couple of small ones.
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees celcius, you may need to search the web to find a conversion to gas mark (1-9) which many ovens are in.
- Line the baking tin with baking parchment, this doesn't have to be neat. I found that a lakeland 2lb loaf tin liner flattened out fitted well for a 18x28cm tray and half the mixture.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat.
- Add the sugar, syrup and condensed milk. Keep heating and stirring until all is melted and mixed. Don't rush by turning the heat up.
- When the sugar has dissolved, let the mixture boil for a couple of minutes, stirring to prevent it sticking to the pan.
- Gradually add the oats, folding them in. All the oats should be coated, and the mixture quite dense, but still sticky. Don't add so many oats that the mixture becomes dry.
- Pour the mixture into the tins and spread about so that it lines the tin to a depth of 2-3cm. Fill as many tins as necessary! Don't squash the mixture in, just spread it evenly.
- Bake in the oven for ~15mins (mine took about 20). If using top and middle shelves swap half way through so they cook evenly.
- You should take them out when they just start to go brown round the edges, don't leave longer than this. If they're still squidgy in the middle that's fine, they set on cooking.
