This is one of the easiest things to make. A great one for beginners as it doesn’t require much skill and uses minimal equipment, basically if you have a pan, wooden spoon, tin and oven you’re set to go 🙂
The only thing that could go wrong with this recipe is not trusting that the flapjack is done. You really want it to look quite soft in the middle and still very pale so you get the amazing chewy texture- not a piece of oat brick!!! :):)
Flapjack
175g salted butter
150g Demerara sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch Maldon flaky salt
250g porridge oats
Preheat the oven to 150’C and line an 8 by 8 inch tin (or any other of a similar size.)
Place the butter, sugar, syrup And vanilla into a medium saucepan and heat to melt the butter. The sugar won’t dissolve bit that’s what you want to get a nice texture at the end.
Take off the heat and add the salt and oats. Give it a good stir to combine and place in the prepared tin. Bake for about 20 mins. When you take it out it should appear slightly golden around the edges but still look a bit underdone in the centre, don’t be tempted to bake it for longer or you’ll end up with flapjack that will break your teeth!!! Not ideal 🙂
Leave it to cool in the tray and cut into squares or fingers. Enjoy will a nice cuppa!
