Flapjack

Have started baking for Trinity Cafe, once a month. Oh, the responsibility. I follow the recipe they gave me quite slavishly... so far, so good...

Crunchy, traditional flapjacks. Do not overbake.

Ingredients
10 oz butter
9 oz demerara sugar/= or mixed white and brown
4oz golden syrup
18 oz porridge oats

12 x 9 inch Swiss roll traybake or roasting tin. Line with well-greased silicone or baking parchment.

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees C/Fan 140 degrees C/Gas 3.

Melt the butter, sugar and syrup in a large pan.
Stir in oats.
Mix well.
Turn into well-greased  tin and firmly press flat with a palette knife or the back of a spoon.

Bake in pre-heated oven for 30 - 35 minutes or until pale golden brown.
Remove from oven, leave to cool for 10 minutes.
Mark into squares, leave to finish cooling in the tin. (Cut off edges if slightly over-baked.)
