Chewy Flapjacks

Method

• step 1

  Set oven to gas mark 3, 160 C.

• step 2

  Grease a 20x30cm baking tray and line the bottom with baking parchment.

• step 3

  In a large saucepan melt butter, sugar and syrup until all mixed and runny.

• step 4

  Take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the oats until all combined.

• step 5

  Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tray and smooth even with a spatula.

• step 6

  Place in the centre of the pre-heated oven and bake for 20 - 25 minutes, until golden. (If you prefer a more chewy flapjack, it should still have a slight wobble when you take it out of the oven).

• step 7

  Allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then mark lightly where you want to cut into squares. Cover with a clean tea towel until completely cooled.

• step 8

  Cut into squares and turn out.
