    The recipe for chocolate chip cookies on the first page. OMG I am just going to have to try those.

    I will be as big as a house soon:rotfl:

    You and me both! At least we'll know who to blame. :D

    Butter when melted won't harden, syrup when heated won't harden, porridge oats when cooked don't stick together but SUGAR..... sugar when heated goes all sticky when heated and the longer it's heated for the harder it sets.

    The sugar is important ;)

    As a seasoned flapkacker I can confirm that Jay Jay is right. You need the sugar, the syrup is more for flavour I think - you can use black treacle instead.

    The most important thing about flapjacks in my opinion is to use butter ;) I see from your sig that you agree Tom.

    Oh yes, it's butter or nothing as far as I'm concerned.

    I made smashing's microwave flapjacks on friday evening. Put choc chips in and they were scoffed pretty quickly!

    Did have trouble finding a dish to microwave them in that wasn't
    a) metal
    b) square which stopped the turntable turning!! DOH!

    Ended up using the lid of my pyrex caserole dish - just the job! :)

    did you wait until it was completely cooled before cutting/removing from the dish? That's what I did wrong the first time :o
