Flapjacks as promised

As I promised here is the recipe that I use for flapjacks.

3oz (75g) of butter
3oz (75g) of Demerera suger
4oz (100g) of oats
Heaped tbsp of golden suger

Optional:

Handful of rasins
Bar of chocolate
Heaped tbsp of desicated coconut

Pre-heat oven to 150oC for soft flapjack, 180 for crispy flapjacks. Also butter up a shallow roasting tin. Softly melt the butter and suger on a low heat until you get a suger paste with butter on top.

Stir iin the oats. Head a table spoon on the hob, once hot use to scoop the golden syrup out (don't lick it clean it will burn your mouth). Mix vigorously.

Add optional extras at this point: seeds, coconut, rasins, &c.

Spoon mixure into tin. One can either use a wooden spoon to flaten out to get a rustic look or you can use something with a larger and flatter to squeez it flat for a more processed feel.

Place in oven for about 15-20 mins.

Once finished melt chocolate and add a knob of butter for a shiney finish. Spread over the flatjacks. Hey presto!
