Old Fashioned Flapjacks Recipes

OLD FASHIONED FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Preheat griddle so that a drop of water beads when dropped on it.
• Combine dry ingredients.
• Combine wet ingredients and beat well. (Do this quickly as the butter will tend to set up when it hits the cold milk).
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients.
• Mix but not too much. Batter will be slightly lumpy.
• Drop a couple tablespoons for each pancake onto hot griddle and cook until bubbles appear in batter and bottom is golden brown.
• Serve with real butter and real maple syrup.

CLASSIC FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan oven
• Grease the bottom of a 20cm square tin then line it with baking parchment
• Put the butter, sugar and golden syrup into a medium pan and then leave so that the butter melts and stirring regularly
• Once the butter is melted, bring the pan off the heat and pour in the oats, making sure to cover each oat in the mixture
• Turn it all into the tin and make sure to spread it out evenly by using a spoon or a knife
• Bake for 25 minutes or until brown around the sides
• Remove from the oven and leave to cool down for 2-3 minutes in the tray then remove from the tray and leave a further 5 minutes
• Cut the flapjack so you have four lines down and three line across, giving you lovely rectangle flapjacks

OLD TIME FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• 1. Beat eggs on high for a minute, add all liquids and all remaining ingredients. Mix for one minute.
• 2. Prepare griddle or skillet with oil and heat over medium. Ladle or pour batter on griddle to desired size. Cook until bubbles appear and the flapjacks are golden brown on the bottom. Flip the flapjacks over, cook until browned.
• 3. Serve with jam, jelly, syrup, honey, cooked apples or berries...... MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! *** Add ginger to the batter along with more molasses and less milk. *** Omit the molasses and add blueberries! *** You can replace the milk with apple cider and add minced apples and cinnamon. *** Add a well drained can of whole kernel corn (Southern style!)

TRADITIONAL BRITISH FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Melt the butter and the margarine in a deep saucepan over a very low heat.
• Add the brown sugar and honey and mix well until you have a liquid substance.
• Mix in the oats and pinch of salt -- it may be easier to add the oats in gradually stirring and covering the oats with the mixture.
• Mash the banana into a liquid pulp and mix into the oats (this will take a good few minutes to ensure that the banana is fully mixed in).
• Get a knife and spread the oats evenly over a greased baking sheet.
• Place the baking sheet onto the middle shelf in a 425F preheated oven (gas mark 5, 220 C) and bake for 15 minutes, checking the progress regularly. Take out when the mixture starts turning a darker color - don't over bake.
• Let stand for a minute or two, then cut the flapjack into as many pieces as you wish. You may find it best to leave the flapjacks for a few hours to cool down although you can eat them straight away.
• Drizzle with melted chocolate if you'd like as a way to decorate but this is really not needed unless you want to dress up the flapjacks.
