Raisin Flapjacks

My Dear Viewer,  I return to my blog with a very simple recipe which I am sure you will try out. 

The British Flapjacks are made with oats, honey/golden syrup, sugar and butter. Oats as we all know are beneficial for our health. They are loaded with iron, vitamin B and zinc. Throw in some nuts or dried fruits and you have a winner combination.

 Kids will just love this one. If you are too concerned about the calories, then why don’t you cut yourself a smaller piece?

This recipe takes about 25 minutes to cook and is a perfect combination with milk/coffee/tea/cream.

Let me tell you that the smell of freshly baked flapjacks is just irresistible!

FLAPJACKS                                                                         Makes 12 – 16

Raisins – ¾ cup

Method

1. Mix together the oats, sugar and raisins.
2. Pour in the melted butter and combine thoroughtly.
3. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
4. Grease a flat baking dish/tray lightly.
5. Pour in the oats mix and press down tightly with the back of a spoon.
6. Bake for 12 minutes till the top is slightly coloured.
7. Remove from the oven and cut out the flapjacks while still hot and soft. Let it cool slightly.
8. Arrange the flapjacks on a wire rack to cool thoroughly. They will toughen up on cooling.

Note: 1. You may replace the sugar with 2 tblsp of honey or golden syrup.

2. I have used salted butter as this lends a special taste to the flapjacks.

3. You may choose to replace it with unsalted butter.
