Soupdragon, please come and tell me about condensed milk in flap jacks

[Bumperlicious]

I've read you recommending this a few times, but saying they can be too sweet. Do you have a definitive recipe? How much condensed milk. I've got jumbo oats, are they not so good?

Help me please, I need a sweet treat!

soupdragon have bookmarked your recipe - have had condensed milk in the cupboard for bloody months. Thanks!

Very excited about this!

Like Eeky have been searching for the perfect recipe for years...

Hello Soup Dragon could you put your definitive receipe back up on this thread. I am new to flapjack making but have

Farmlea Sweetened Condensed milk 397ge tin in hand

half a packet of porridge oats to use up.

And cook in a gas oven.

Will also be putting a layer of dark chocolate chips through the middle to mimick Tesco Chocolate drizzle and M& S chocolate chip Flapjacks.

Sorry soup dragon I meant to say please

I have come on here to bump this old thread one more time and also officially declare this 'blend' of flapjack the Perfect Breastfeeding SnackFood. If I can wrestle any from my toddler and flapjack-obsessed husband.

And I've done extensive research into the Perfect Breastfeeding Snackfood. I have a list of criteria! The food has to be:

• Easy to hold and eat with one hand.
• Without fussy packaging OR easy to open with one hand.
• Something that does not require refrigeration.
• Something that feel like a treat but not give you toothache in thirty minutes (eg not actually sweets)
• Something chewy
• Something tweakable (eg easy to add protein (nuts, seeds) or fibre (dried fruit)
• Something that holds together and doesn't sit in crumb-form in your newborn's neck. cough
• Something not so sweet or salty that you're immediately thirsty.
• Something that looks healthier than a big bar of chocolate in case of visitors.
• Something not too expensive.

Ahem. DS2 does long boring nightfeeds, and we haven't cracked the side-lying position yet (which is bad, it was how I coped feeding DS1!). So I've not had a lot of sleep but I've had lots of time to think The List through!

:) Thank you Soupdragon ! We who are getting fatter enjoying this flapjack salute you! :)

So after many years of flapjacks turning out like granola I can finally say I made the perfect flapjack. Thank you soupdragon! I did only add a third of the sugar and a pinch of salt. But my god, best flapjacks ever. Thank you again.

Oh, I see my work here is already done ... :o

Do you think they would work with salted peanuts in soupdragon? I'm going through a funky sweet/salt phase!

And thank you again. Best recipe ever.

I don't see why not. :)

I don't put any of the extra sugar in now.

Yes I'm thinking of not adding any sugar next time. I also added some cornflakes and coconut to mine and despite my better judgement took them out bang on 15 mins as per the recipe and they worked. Have hot half a tin of condensed milk to will have to make more at the weekend and am busy thinking of exciting things to put in.

Thanks for resurrecting this - I have an ice-cream recipe I need to make and it uses half a tin of condensed milk. My usual dilemma is either to save it and make another batch a few days later when the ice-cream machine has refrozen and if I remember or go for Maryz spoon option :)
Flapjacks in the oven, ice-cream mix cooling ready to freeze - happy family :)
