Flapjack happiness

I've been enjoying Jane Brocket's book, The Gentle Art of Domesticity and in particular the flapjacks she has inspired me to create. I have slightly adapted it for the needs of our household, mainly the volume!

The original recipe can be found on jane's blog - Yarnstorm, here.

This is my adapted version...

You will need;
330 grams/6oz butter 330 grams/6oz margarine 660 grams/ 12oz sugar (I used a mixture of dark brown sugar and caster, Jane uses soft brown sugar) 2 tablespoons of Golden Syrup

Melt the above together in a pan then add and mix in

660 grams/ 12oz Porridge oats
A handful of a mixture of the following, or none at all - sunflower, poppy, sesame seeds, sultanas, dessicated coconut or whatever takes your fancy.

Pour into a large tin and flatten with wooden spoon.

Bake on gas mark 2/300f/150c for approx 35mins, until golden brown.

When you take it out the oven wait about 10 mins before cutting into it, then wait for it to cool completely if you wantto stand any chance of getting whole slices out. Even then it is not guarenteed!

Enjoy! Preferably with a cup of tea (Earlgrey)

My slightly obliterated flapjack, as I was in too much of a hurry to get eating it!
