tia xxx

thanks xxxx

noooo - I@ve got a fab recipe on here somewhere. uses condensed milk

is that no to the fruit? and i don;t have condensed milk! ! ta though x

here

250g porridge oats (the cheap type, not large ones),
150g Butter,
2 generous table spoons Golden Syrup
half a tin condensed milk,
100g demerera sugar
baking tin, no bigger than about 18cm x 28cm

Method: 1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees c

1. Line the baking tin with baking parchment.
2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the sugar and syrup. Keep gently heating and stirring until all is melted and mixed. If it starts to boil take it off the heat!
3. Add the condensed milk and mix. Bring to the boil for about a minute.
4. Remove from the heat and 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.
5. Pour the mixture into the tins and spread about so that it lines the tin to a depth of 2-3cm. Don't squash the mixture in, just spread it evenly.
6. Bake in the oven for about 15mins. 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.

You can substitute honey for the syrup and change the amount of sugar - I use less as they can turn out very sweet.

Trust me, buy condensed milk and try it sometime!

Sultanas and cherris are fine, candied peel is the work of the devil

I've also substituted some of the oats with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and linseeds before.

thanks soupy, i will, that sounds gorgeous!

so , only me that eats candied peel straight out of the tub then ??

just me then ! thanks for the recipe ! flapjack s with cherries are delicious!

flap jacks keep you know - I am pretty sure they would be ok in the post!..... [hopeful emotion].....

i'll bake you some for when you move up here !!

I can't wait that long!

Got the taste now..

Actually Fairy Cakes are in the over as we speak (well type)....

will there be butter icing on the cakes??

not sure yet - most likely melted chocolate and anything else jessica wants to put on!

why do you like butter icing?

i love butter icing and am crap at making it !

How can you be crap at butter icing?? You put butter in in a food processor, you add icing sugar til it tastes right.

Obviously you switch the processor off before sticking your finger in to taste the icing...

oh ok.... i have usually made by hand, and it is always too thick/ too thin and never the right consistency....

am not a domestic goddess obviously....

go on then - can you give me a recipe for butter icing - I have some red food colouring that I promised i would use for cake and forgot to add....

Recipe for butter icing : put butter in in a food processor, add icing sugar til it tastes right !

How much butter.... how much sugar... how much food colouring!

Too late - found it on the web...

Yummy - although have to admit - I prefer melted chocolate....

You don't have to measure butter cream! You start with an amount of butter about, er, I don't know, 2/3 (?) of the icing you need and add icing sugar to taste. Add colouring slowly until you get the colour you want.
