Fruity Flapjack

I haven’t been doing much baking recently as rather excitingly I have been moving house! But I took the opportunity this weekend to borrow my Mum’s oven to knock up something fairly quick and simple. This recipe is from a course I did at school for budding uni students and it has been tried and tested by the Brownies many times.

Recipe

300g Oats

150g Margarine (or butter)

50g Caster Sugar

3 tbsp Golden Syrup

100g Mixed Dried Fruit

Method

Melt together the marge, sugar and syrup. Add the dry ingredients. Mix well and pour into a greased and lined baking tray. Bake at 180°C for about 20min (until golden brown).

Results

As usual it was the timing in the oven that I found most difficult. The flapjack tasted nice but was a little dry for my liking. Measuring out the right amount of syrup was difficult; maybe I needed some more. I think possibly I will try a different recipe next time.
