One this web page is a basic flapjack recipe and all the different heat settings and timings to give you any type of flapjack you may want, from soft and chewy to rock hard - it all depends on the temperature the sugar gets to, just like toffee.......
HTHPlease forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0 -

124g butter
75g golden syrup
150g bar chocolate(I used Tesco Value Plain Chocolate Bar)
175g rolled oats (again I used value oats for mine)
50g desiccated coconut
50g glace cherries
Melt butter, syrup and chocolate together until melted. Remove from heat, stir in oats, coconut, cherries, mix well and turn into a 18cm square dish or tin. Smooth surface and chill until firm.
This requires no cooking and I also added some chopped apricots and raisins to mine and to say they didn't hang about would be an understatement. They are definately on my regular list!
Just been browsing here at these recipes and even though its just gone 1.30am i have just made a batch of these to see what they are like.
Have just put them in the fridge to chill so will let you know tomorrow.0 -

Sorry forgot to come back and let you know what they are like.
Lets just put it this way, what do you think im doing back here? Yes looking up the recipe again as forgot to make a note of it. Im doing a double batch this time as there wasnt enough to go round. Yumm!!
Im not so sure i would describe them as a flapjack though. More like a what i would think of as chocolate squares or something like that. Very rich and really yummy.0 -
Well. they are full of oats, sugar, butter etc so I like to think of them as 'flapjacks' but they are just too 'naughty' and very, very nice. Did you put all the little extras in? I am making another batch this week.DTD - Doing Tesco Daily - while I still have vouchers!0

Yes i put all the little extras in. Just like i have put a little extra in belly right now
must learn to leave them alone. The plate is getting emptier and emptier while my belly gets fuller and fuller.
Didnt think of that really, it is better to call them flapjacks due to having oats etc cos then they sound so much healthier which means they are better for you so you can eat a few more

I found this recipe for a breakfast bar [a flapjack by another name]
2 eggs
2tsp cinnamon
3ozs butter
2tbsp honey
14oz porridge oats
3ozs dried apricots
3tbsp sunflower seeds
Mix all the ingredients together, press into a 8"X 10" baking tin and cook for 30/35 minutes 325f/160c/gas mark3.
I suppose you can add any dried fruit or seeds.:hello: N:hello:A :hello:N :hello:A :hello:M :hello:A :hello:G :hello:S :hello:0 -
My favourite recipe is from the school canteen - they made such nice ones, I asked for the recipre, which was for a quantity of 16 tins, so I needed to scale it down a bit!!
14oz porridge oats
8oz butter (or stork)
4oz sugar
4oz syrup - weigh it out (I usually use 5oz. Dip spoon into hot water to stop syrup sticking to it.)
Melt the last three, and mix into oats.
Put into tin (about 8inches by 11? never measured it)
Cook at 170 C for 15 minutes. Mark into fingers immediately then leave to cool.
Try not to eat the whole lot yourself (the only difficult bit ) It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0 -
Tonight i decided to make flapjacks for the kids (& us). I havn't made them for ages so I dug out my recipe book to be on the safe side. Everything seemed ok but when I went to cut them they all crumbled & i only managed to get afew complete slices. I mean we'll still eat them, but the slices are obviously easier for putting into lunchboxes, so what did I do wrong ? Any advice please
