YUMMY GOLDEN SYRUP FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the oats, butter, sugar and golden syrup in a food processor and pulse until mixed - be careful not to overmix or the oats may lose their texture.
• Lightly butter a 20 x 20cm baking tin and add the mixture. Press into the corners with the back of a spoon so the mixture is flat and score into 12 squares. Bake for around 15 mins until golden brown.

FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
• In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and vanilla.
• Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium to medium-low heat.
• Whisk the butter into the milk mixture, add to the flour mixture, and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.
• Keeping the skillet at medium to medium low heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, to make a pancake. Make one or two more pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

• Place the butter, sugar and golden syrup into a saucepan, then with a wooden spoon stir them together on a low heat for a few minutes until melted. The sugar should be completley dissolved. If mixture starts to burn too quickly, lower your heat.
• When melted, turn off the heat and pour your porridge oats into your pan of melted butter/sugar/ syrup mixture and stir well, next add your cherries and pecans or whatever extra ingredient you desire (marshmallows, chocolate chips, any type of nuts or fruit ect...) into your mixture then stir around until your oats and fruit/nuts/extras/ are well mixed and coated into your syrup/sugar/butter mixture. After stirring well it should have all come together to make a sticky flapjack mixture.
• Now using a spoon, pour your flapjack mixture onto your lined baking tin, then carefully flatten down the mixture with the back of a spoon (you can also use a fork, or spatula) so your flapjack is nice and evenly spread out covering all of the bottom of your tray. Make sure you get it right into the tray corners so you get a nice square shaped flapjack.
• When you have finished setting your flapjack into your tray, place your flapjack into the oven for 10-20 minutes. Keep checking until your flapjack is golden brown, then remove from the oven and leave to cool for at least 45 minutes or more.
• When moderately cool, lift flapjack from tray and remove baking parchment then using a knife cut into 9 (or how ever many pieces you want) equal square pieces
