4 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat griddle so that a drop of water beads when dropped on it.

Provided by GeorgieL123

Time 35m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 4

150g butter
75g light brown sugar
3 tbsp golden syrup
250g porridge oats

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan oven
  • Grease the bottom of a 20cm square tin then line it with baking parchment
  • Put the butter, sugar and golden syrup into a medium pan and then leave so that the butter melts and stirring regularly
  • Once the butter is melted, bring the pan off the heat and pour in the oats, making sure to cover each oat in the mixture
  • Turn it all into the tin and make sure to spread it out evenly by using a spoon or a knife
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until brown around the sides
  • Remove from the oven and leave to cool down for 2-3 minutes in the tray then remove from the tray and leave a further 5 minutes
  • Cut the flapjack so you have four lines down and three line across, giving you lovely rectangle flapjacks

Tips:

  • Use Fresh, Room-Temperature Ingredients: Cold ingredients don't mix as well, and can result in a lumpy batter.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough flapjacks.
  • Cook the Flapjacks Over Medium Heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the Flapjacks Only Once: Flipping them too often can break them up.
  • Serve the Flapjacks Warm with Your Favorite Toppings: Butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream are all classic choices.
