Method
step 1
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Butter and line a 20-21cm square baking tin with baking parchment. Gently melt together the butter, sugar and syrup in a large pan. Tip in the oats, flour and coconut, and mix well. Press the mixture into the tin to flatten evenly. Bake for 30 mins until golden and crisping.
step 2
To make the icing, put the butter, icing sugar, syrup and ground ginger in a small pan and heat gently, stirring, until all melted together. Pour straight over the flapjacks, scatter with the diced ginger and cool in the tin.
