flapjack recipe???

[dramaqueen72]

i only have nigellas flapjack recipe, and its not IMO that good, as flapjack goes.
anybody got another one? i want it to stick together more than hers does!!

I have always had trouble with flapjacks, the either end up to hard or like yours dont stick together. I am also interested in a fool proof receipe.

Hi
We got this in a recipte book bought for dd at xmas and has worked everytime so far

175 g Margerine/Butter
175g Demerara sugar
2 tablesppons golden syrup
225g rolled oats

grease oblong time (18.27cm) then line bottom with greaseproof paper and grease paper.

Set oven to 160C/325F/ Gas 3

Put Margerine/butter in large pan with sugar and syrup. melt gently, don't allow to boil.

Take Pan off heat and stir in oats well

Spoon into tray, flaten with back of metal spoon

Bake in middle of oven for 25 mins

When golden, take out, leave 10 mins then cut. Leave in tin until cold.

Hope it works for you!

I will try this, and I will let you know how I get on.

Thanks

well tried it and its very nice, does stick better. thanks Pink.
mind you, keen to try any variations anyone else has too!!

Thry these, my mum used to make them when I was a kid and I'd have to take a whole batch into school cos my friends all loved them too:

Nutty Flapjacks

Grease a square (or oblong) baking tin and preheat oven to 190 c/ Gas mark 5

Melt 4 oz margarine and 1 tbsp syrup gently in a saucepan.

Mix in a bowl, 4 oz sugar, 2 oz oats, 2 oz SR flour, and 3 oz crushed cornflakes.

Pour on the melted marge and syprup and mix thoroughly.

Pack mixture down into prepared tin and bake for exactly 15 mins.

Mark out finger or square shapes whilst still warm but then leave to cool in the pan.

I sometimes replace the cornflakes with crunchy nut cornflakes or bran lakes. I also sometimes add dried fruit but only a little. I've also used a variety of sugars which changes the taste nicely.

Melt some chocolate on the bottom of your tray and let it set. Then pile your oaty mixture ontop of that and take it out of the oven WAY before they tell you too! That way it goes all sticky and icky and the chocolate is still warm and melting .....appropriate for Cadbury?!!

SL x

14 oz oats
5oz butter
4 oz sugar
2 desert spoons of malt (add more butter or golden syrup if you don't have malt)

melt butter, mix all together, cook for 15-20 mins gas mark 4-5

A big hit in our house - almost a staple food

will they freeze, flapjacks in general that is?

pinkmama, im off to the shop! cheers
