Flapjack

Flapjacks are one of my downfalls, I don't really have a big sweet-tooth but I just can't resist these. In a bid to save money and to stop buying pre-made, pre-packaged ones I decided to make my own and have them for my 11am tea break at work! Sad as it may seem but it's saved me quite a bit!! It's my own recipe which has slowly been adapted to create something absolutely wonderful!!! Toffeelicious Flapjacks! Ingredients:- Brown Sugar - 80g Butter - 70g Margarine - 30g Oats - 250g Salt - Pinch Toffee Sauce - As much as you dare Golden Syrup - 2 tablespoons Method:- 1.

FLAPJACK RECIPE This is the first time that I have reviewed a recipe, but when I made these yesterday, I realised that some things you learn at school do stay with you. Cooking doesn't seem to have the same importance in some schools, but thankfully my daughter has a lesson every week or the year. Anyway, I digress, this recipe was given to me by my teacher in 1983 and I really rate the finished product. Especially when compared to what shops have to offer in this department. ***The Recipe*** 6oz Margarine 4oz Brown/Demerara Sugar 8oz Porridge Oats 2 Tablespoons of Golden Syrup ~Method~ 1) Light the ...  Read the complete review

These Apple Flapjacks are great to make with the kids. Ill definately be making these this school holiday with my little one as although she starts to get bored with most toys she never gets bored of helping in the kitchen!

This takes a little longer to go around the store but it is so much more pleasurable! You will need: 2 eating apples (Personally I like the sourness in a granny ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a massive fan of flapjack, but when my nan brought round this variation of flapjack to my house, I thought I'd give it a go. It was a good job I did, as it is one of my most favourite cakes of all time!! So I got the recipe off her but I don't make it too often, as the recipe actually said that there are about 300 calories and 14g of fat per finger!! So it's not the most healthy of cakes! Ingredients include: 250g unsalted butter (doesn't necessarily need to be unsalted) 250g soft light brown sugar 4 tbsp maple syrup 300g porrdge oats 250g stoned dates, chopped So the recipe is: 1.) ...  Read the complete review

CHEWY FLAPJACKS ~ makes 18 ~ It's a shame that they don't children do not spend as much time as they used to in the kitchen and that schools do not teach as much cookery because of the National Curriculum. There's nothing nicer than spending time together weighing, mixing and measuring preparing tasty recipes to enjoy as a family. In these days of 'want it, want it now' it does us all good, I think, to take time to prepare and enjoy a bit of home cooking and encourage our children/ grandchildren to appreciate good tasty food. OK - so there's always a mess in the kitchen and the washing-up always gets left to the adults ...  Read the complete review
