A good Flapjack recipe is a must have, this recipe is my mum's recipe and she's known for her flapjack. This recipe is easy to make, and creates a flapjack which is moist, sweet and decadent. We often make this recipe in our household to bring to events like buffets and cake sales but also just for sweet snack now and then. So here's the recipe for quick and easy flapjack...

Ingredients

• 4oz Butter

• 8oz Oats
• 2oz Glacier Cherries (optional)

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180℃, and line baking tray with grease proof paper (29cm x 22cm).
2. Melt together the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a medium size pan over a medium heat, until a deep caramel.
3. Stir in the oats in three stages to ensure the oats are completely covered in the caramel. Add the cherries at this point if you are including them.
   
4. Spread in the lined baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Slice the flapjack in the tin whilst the flapjack is still hot, then leave to cool in the tin, to avoid cracking and crumbling.
