Golden Flapjacks Recipes

YUMMY GOLDEN SYRUP FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the oats, butter, sugar and golden syrup in a food processor and pulse until mixed - be careful not to overmix or the oats may lose their texture.
• Lightly butter a 20 x 20cm baking tin and add the mixture. Press into the corners with the back of a spoon so the mixture is flat and score into 12 squares. Bake for around 15 mins until golden brown.

APPLE FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Butter the base of a 20 x 20cm square tin and line with baking parchment. Tip the chopped apples into a small saucepan with 2 tsp water and cook over a medium heat for 3-4 mins until the apples are just soft enough to crush, but there's still a little water left in the pan. If needed, add a little more water and cook the apples for slightly longer. Remove from the heat and crush the apples using a potato masher or a fork to break up slightly, then tip into a bowl and set aside.
• Tip the butter, golden syrup and sugar into the pan and warm through over a low heat until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Combine the oats, dried apple and cinnamon, if using, in a large bowl. Tip in the buttery syrup mix and cooked apples, then stir to combine. Tip the flapjack mixture into the prepared tin and press down firmly. Level the surface using a spatula, then bake for 25-30 mins until golden and bubbling at the sides. Leave to cool. Cut into 16 pieces. Will keep in an airtight container for three days.

GOLDEN FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• pre heat oven to 160 degrees Celsius grease and base line a 20cm round cake tin.
• to measure the golden syrup easier, measure the sugar first, keep it in the scales and pour the syrup on top to avoid sticking to plate.
• put butter, syrup and sugar in a saucepan and heat gently until butter has melted and sugar dissolved.
• remove from heat and stir in oats.
• pour into lined tin and press down with back of a spoon until is surface is level.
• bake in oven about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
• remove from oven and loosen from the sides of the tin with a palette knife and leave to cool for about 10 minutes.
• tip out onto board, remove paper and cut into even wedges, leave to cool completely.

GOLDEN APPLE-CINNAMON FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, and caster sugar in a medium bowl. Mix egg and milk together; add to dry ingredients and stir just until all the lumps disappear.
• Cook finely-chopped apples, sugar, and cinnamon in 1-2 tablespoons melted butter over medium heat in a non-stick skillet until soft. Put into a small bowl, set aside to cool.
• Clean and dry the skillet and place over medium-high heat (you may need to adjust down a little if you have a newer-style range; mine is quite old). Melt butter and, when just starting to foam, drop in spoonfuls of batter and flatten them a little with the spoon. Cook without moving the skillet until holes appear in the surface. Carefully flip and cook another minute to two minutes on the other side until golden brown and gently crisped (or soft, depending on how you prefer your flapjacks).
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, the spiced apple sauce, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
