Trouble with my flapjacks..

[MJ122025]

Decided to have a bit of a baking day to use up some bits and pieces I had in my baking box. (I've been clearing out my cupboards.). I had a few glace cherries so thought I'd make some flapjacks.

The recipe I used is 120g oats, 60g light brown sugar and 60g melted butter. Mix together, add a decent squirt of honey or syrup, add the bits (in this case cherries but I also made a batch with raisins). Then put in a greased tin and bake until golden.

I did all that, then put them outside to cool.

I hoped/expected them to pop out but they were welded to the pot round the edges and squidgy in the middle. So now I have a bowl of flapjacks rather than the slices I wanted.

Any idea what went wrong and any tips for next time?

I always slice/cut mine into individual slices while still warm, otherwise it sets into a solid slab. I also use a greater proportion of liquid and fat in my recipe - using golden syrup and condensed milk per @SoupDragon’sdelicious recipe posted on this thread - https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/housekeeping/1583844-Please-share-your-flapjack-recipes?reply=34686009?utm_campaign=thread&utm_medium=app_share

Thanks. I've just screenshot that for next time.

Line your baking tin with grease proof paper.
