Recipe of the Day

This recipe may not be unique but from a personal point of view it is over 50 years old and I can remember as a child my Mum making them.

FLAPJACKS

6 ounces of Oats

3 ounces of Butter

4 ounces of Soft Brown Sugar

2 ounces of Golden Syrup *

Place the Oats in a large mixing bowl.

Melt the Butter, Sugar & Syrup over a low heat (do not boil).

Add the melted ingredients to the Oats and mix well.

Spoon the mixed ingredients into a shallow baking tray (Make sure the tray is well greased with Butter).

Place into a preheated oven at 360F (about 185c) for about 25 minutes.

* Particularly popular in England (where it's also known as light treacle), this liquid sweetener has the consistency of corn syrup and a clear golden color. It's made from evaporated sugar cane juice and has a rich, toasty flavor unmatched by any other sweetener. Golden syrup, the most readily available brand being Lyle's, can be found in some supermarkets and many gourmet markets. It can be used as a substitute for corn syrup in cooking and baking, and for everything from pancake syrup to ice cream topping.
