Best flapjack recipe
What it says really. I've been experimenting with some flapjack recipes lately ... the best one was my one before last. It was lovely and gooey but unfortunately I can't find where I got that recipe from.
So I wondered if the good people of the food and drink forum could give me their best f/j recipe? I don't like it dry or crunchy but rather softer and gooey. Do you have a good recipe that comes out like that? I've already tried recipes I've googled but I'm particularly looking for a personal recommendation. Also I'd be interested in good fruity flapjack recipes. Thanks. |

I don't use a recipe. They say that you should cut them as soon as you get them out of the oven as they supposedly get tougher the longer you leave them to cool.
Not sure about that myself. The last time I made flap jacks, I just melted some butter and honey and then poured some exotic muesli into the pot off the heat and stirred. Put down grease proof paper on a baking tray and then spooned it on. I baked it for about 20-25 minutes. |

Like the idea of using muesli for variety. Would still love to get a tried and tested gooey flapjack recipe from someone though ...

The recipe I use is
175g butter 175g soft brown sugar 4 tbsps golden syrup 325g porridge oats 150g of whatever dried fruit you like Bake at 180C for 40 minutes. I guess if you like it gooey, don't use as much golden syrup and take it out the oven a little earlier. I love flapjack, it turns out different everytime I make it tho, but hey it's easy to make and always tastes nice. |

I followed this recipe
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandsty...father-to-cook and I have to say it was truly scrumptious. Even my husband, who normally never eats flapjacks loved it - so much so I have had to make it twice since! I think it is the condensed milk that makes all the difference. I think that chucking in a few sultanas would make a difference too. |
