Tell me how to make delicious soft flapjacks please.

[mawbroon]

And also, they are not allowed to fall to bits!!

I use the recipe out of the Good Housekeeping book and they turn out ok, but I know they could be better!

Any good recipes or top tips?

And quick please, cos I want them later tonight

It would be too runny I think, Dawny.

I do have a divine recipe for sultana buttermilk pancakes if you like though.

Is it the buttermilk in the litre cartons?

Just drink it. It's delicious

But not if it's the other stuff!!

Ooh, interesting. Does the condensed milk really work? I often have a tin in due to my addiction to Nigella's fudge!

Bumper - it doesn't just work, its divine. I use slightly less than SD's recipe asks for and add sultanas but its still so unctuously gooey it needs to stay in the fridge.

Well I'm breastfeeding and oats are good for supply so it'd be madness not to indulge :)

I add an egg and a couple of ounces of flour and it makes them more cake like - kinder to my teeth and fillings

I"ve never had to store my flapjacks in the fridge :o

Storing flapjacks is surely never necessary?

My favourite added ingredient is chopped dried apricots mmmmm

Need to make some flapjack but I have run out of porridge oats. [adds to ocado order]

I store mine around my thighs.

I would love to update you all on the condensed milk flapjacks, but I haven't been out to the shop for the condensed milk.

Looks like it will probably be tomorrow......

Ok, we had no biscuits in the house. This is why I wanted to make flapjacks.

Last night, I couldn't wait for the condensed milk any longer, so I made the microwave ones. The mixture looked a bit dry, so I put in some Oatly (oat cream).

They are waaaaaaaay nicer than the ones I have made before in the oven, so vast improvement already.

Still drooling at the thought of the condensed milk ones though....

I made the squishy cookies from the recipe board.

They were indeed squishy and also yummy.

I have just made soupdragons flapjacks and they are bloody sensational!

Silly old me was wondering what to do with the left over 1/2 can of condensed milk... Ha ha I will just make some more!!

Thank you!!

Cant believe I lost this!

Am doing them this afternoon (need to pop to shop for syrup!) and will report back - or rather DH will as Im not keen on them but he loves them!

I made some yesterday, and they are fab!

I even started a thread earlier to say thank you to Soupdragon

Going to make more tomorrow!

Just made some this morning and they are absolutely delicious, I cannot keep my hands off them... Thankfully I have another half can of condensed milk left to make some more

Mawbroon: my ma used to soak the porrige overnight - the oatmeal type, not rolled oats.

And my Da made models of all the Broon's heads for DC Thompson when I was a kid - for some exhibition or other.

What can you do with the other half of condensed milk? Can you freeze a second batch?

2 - 3 small bananas
1 cup chopped nuts
zest of lemon/orange
2 cups oats
1/3 cup veg oil
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 tsp mixed spice

Mash the bananas in a large bowl.
Add the nuts and oil to the bananas and mix together.
Stir in the oats and the vanilla essence and
leave for 5 mins for the oats to absorb the oil.
Spoon the mixture into a well greased baking tray and bake at gas mark 4 for about 25 mins.
Cut into squares whilst warm.

You can use a mixture of 75ml skimmed milk and 2 egg yolks instead of oil as well.

Grated apple and pear and blueberries are a nice addition too as is 3 tablespoons of malt extract and sunflower, pumpkin and sesame seeds.

Has anyone tried adding raspberries, cranberries, blackberries or strawberries?

just found this thread.

made the Baking made Easy ones at the weekend.

Nice and soft but SO sweet (DC's loved them!)

Will try SD next

Just bumping this for Soupy's recipe, as I'm going to make them on sunday..

Made Soupy's recipe a week or so ago, sensational flapjacks! I put most in the freezer but they didn't survive there for long, hhhhmmmmm .
