Fabulous Flapjacks

For those with a sweet tooth, there is something a bit morish about these chaps.
Golden syrup is the key ingredient!

• 250gms rolled porridge oats
• 125 gms of butter
• 125gms of soft brown sugar
• 3 tbsp of golden syrup

(and for a really different taste, add 50gms of cranberries (dried) - Whitworths do a nice one.

Melt the butter in a dish in the microwave - 20/30 seconds should do. Then place all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until evenly coated in all that goodness!
Put into a baking pan/tray. I like a thick flapjack so a 20cms square tin works well but if you want it thinner try a larger rectangular tray. Press the mixture down into the pan and if you are adding cranberries try and get them to be below the surface.
Bake in a pre-heated over (180degC Fan or 200degC conventional) for 15 to 20 minutes until golden.

When you take out of the oven, score the mix with a knife to portion up and then allow to cool. Then remove from the tray and cool further.
