Maria's Flapjacks

Here is the basic flapjack recipe which I generally adapt. It makes 16 small
squares. I tend to go a bit lighter on the golden syrup and butter, and usually
add coconut to the mix.
12 tbsp porridge oats
150 grams butter
6 tbsp
golden syrup
2 tbsp dried fruit
grease a 18cm square tin and preheat oven
to gas mark 3 (160c)
melt butter and syrup, then add to oats and fruit and
mix together
press mixture into tin fairly firmly
cook for about 20
minutes
while in tin mark out pieces -
I usually wait awhile before taking
out of the tin, as the flapjack can easily crumble
Best wishes,
Maria
